  10. Enter a Description of the work or tap Description to search your description templates.

    Default task descriptions

    - The task description may be prefilled, if you've set a default description for this task type.

    - Selecting a different task type containing a default description will add the text to the description. Delete unneeded text as necessary.

     
  11. Optional: Select a Project this task should be added to.
  12. Optional: Select a Reported By contact from the list.
  13. Select the Estimator or person preparing the quote.

What next?

The quote then opens in edit mode so you can add items and checklists to it, record the client's approval or rejection of the quote, or change any of the details you entered earlier.

Continue to Edit a Quote.

 

 

Create a Quote from a Task

You can also create a quote from a task. This can be useful if you want the client and location fields to be filled in for you.

From an existing task, tap the Task Shortcuts (green plus button) > Create Quote/Task and select from one of the Quote options:

Option Description
Turn this Task into a Quote

This will convert the task into a quote.

This will remove the task from your In Progress Tasks List until the quote has been approved.
