NEW How to Create and Load a Quote Request Instructions Template

Modified on Fri, 20 Mar at 8:15 PM

Previously, we explained the process of generating Quote Requests in detail. You can find that article here. This article explains how to save and load a Quote Request Instruction Template into your quote requests.


You can access the quote request workflows via the Budget tab in the Project's Overview screen by clicking the Quote Requests subtab, then the Add a Quote Request button. 


How to Create a Quote Request Message Template

Rave allows you to create reusable message templates to simplify your quoting process. This is especially useful when you need different messages for Suppliers and Contractors.  For example:

  • A Supplier template might say:
    “I’ve attached the plans & specs for you to quote on. Please reply/email your pricing back to me as soon as possible.”

  • A Contractor template might say:
    “I’ve given you access to the project’s ‘Plans & Specs’ folder for you to quote on. Please reply/email your pricing back to me as soon as possible.”

  

When adding a new Quote Request, and once you have written your Quote Request Information, including instructions, you can:  

  • Click the Save as Template button (lower right corner of the message box).

  • Give your template a clear name (e.g. Supplier Quote Request Instructions Template).

  • Click SAVE to store the template for future use.




How to Load an Existing Quote Request Message Template

To reuse a previously saved message for your quote request, follow these steps:

  • Scroll down to the Messages section of the Add a Quote Request form
  • Click the Load Instructions from Template button in the upper left corner of the Messages section 
  • Choose your template from the list, then click Load.

You can then update the text and use the formatting tools to make any final adjustments before sending
