Each QuoteWerks user can personalize QuoteWerks by specifying their own preferences. The user preferences can be personalized under the Setup -> My Preferences menu for the currently logged in user. The QuoteWerks administrator can also set the user preferences for each user from [Preferences] button under the Setup -> Users menu.
The user’s full name, title, address, phone and fax numbers can be specified on the Personal tab. The address is useful in situations where sales reps from various geographical locations log in to a centralized server and need to display their own address information on print layouts. The print layout designer Application.LoggedInUserXXXX fields can be used to display this information.
A Sales Rep picture and Electronic Signature picture can also be added on this tab. These pictures can be included on your layouts to add a personal touch to every quote sent to your customers. The pictures can also be removed by clicking on the 
icon.
These pictures are available using the following fields in the layout designer: Application.LoggedInUserPicture, Application.LoggedInUserElectronicSignature, DocumentHeaders.&SalesRepPicture, and DocumentHeaders.&SalesRepElectronicSignature.
The user can also change their own password from this window if they have been given the Misc Access rights to do so.
If using the sales rep picture or signature with QuoteValet the optimum picture size for these two fields are 120x180 pixels for the Sales Rep Picture and 120x50 pixels for the Sales Rep Signature.

Color and underline hyperlink URLs when creating PDF file
The PDF generator automatically detects hyperlink link strings, so when the document is viewed in Adobe Acrobat, you can click on the links to display the web page in your web browser. When this option is checked, the automatic hyperlinks display as blue underlined links. Without this option, the hyperlink text color and underline values will not be changed although the text will still behave like a hyperlink.
Make PDF read-only
Checking this option will set the PDF files that QuoteWerks creates as Read-Only so they cannot be edited by the recipient.
Do not allow Copying of PDF content
When setting the PDF file as Read-Only, you also have the option to prevent the recipient from copying text out of the PDF file. When receiving quotes/estimates, many customers/leads often copy out part numbers and descriptions, and then paste this copied information into a web search engine in an effort to search for better pricing. Without the ability to copy and paste so easily, the recipient would have to spend a significant amount of time re-typing all this information, which would be a deterrent against price shopping.
