Adding Quote Custom Fields

You can track additional information for each quote by creating custom fields. For example, you could create a field for lead source. If you delete a custom field, any information that had been entered for that field will also be deleted.

  1. Go to Quote > Edit Settings.

  2. In the Quote Custom Fields section, click on the New Custom Field… button.

  3. Enter a name, select a data type and click OK. Your new field will display in the Quote Info section of the Quote Detail page for all new and existing quotes.
    • Auto-number - use to automatically assign the next sequential number. Use the checkbox to indicate whether values should be generated for existing quotes. You have the option of assigning a number to all existing quotes or just new quotes. If you change the data type of an existing custom field to auto-number, you have the option of assigning a number to all existing fields that are blank. Fields with existing values will remain unchanged.

    • Currency - use for fields you may want to summarize on reports, only numbers are allowed. The field will print with a currency symbol and 2 decimal places.

    • Date - use to ensure a valid date is entered and to allow reporting based on dates

    • Link - use for a hyperlink to a website, or the location of a file or folder on your network. For a website, use the complete address such as http://www.moraware.com. For a folder on your local network use the format \\machinename\sharefile\foldername.
      NOTE: The names cannot contain any spaces. Local network links aren't supported by Mozilla Firefox. Use Internet Explorer instead.

    • List of values - use when you want to define the values for a field such as lead sources

    • Multi-line text - use for long data entry fields such as notes

    • Number - use for fields you may want to summarize on reports, only numbers are allowed

    • Text - use for data entry fields up to 80 characters
