Customer Self Service features a Quote functionality, whereby Customers can submit quote requests via their shopping cart. These are then integrated to Pronto and can be used as lead-generation tools.
To enable online quoting, there are three main tasks (outlined step-by-step below):
- Configure the flag at the Role level - this turns the Quoting functionality On/Off.
- Configure the quote conclusion Resource - this customises the message Customers see when submitting a quote request.
- Configure the email confirmation template - this customises the email Customers receive after the quote request integrates to PRONTO.
Step-by-step guide

- Login as an Administrator.
- Navigate to 'Accounts' or 'Customers' --> 'Role Management'.
