QuickText

QuickText allows you to create reusable templates for note sections of inspection pages and material orders.

Adding QuickText to SumoQuote:

📘

You can save QuickText to one of 2 locations within SumoQuote:

• My Templates = this QuickText will only be available for you to use and edit.
• Shared Templates = this QuickText will be available for all users in your SumoQuote account to use. Only Admin users will be able to edit the content.

If you want to share your Quicktext, be sure to check the box beside "Share template with all users" before saving!

Option 1: Go through the Account Settings

1. Go to Configuration > Account Settings > Templates: QuickText
2. Click on Create Template.
3. Enter a name and the content.
4. If you want to make this QuickText available to everyone in your SumoQuote account, click the checkbox beside Share template with all users.
5. When complete, click on Create Template.
6. From the Account Settings you can also complete the following actions:
   1. Edit: click on the pencil icon beside your QuickText. Make any modifications you need to and then save your changes.
   2. Copy: click on the copy icon beside your QuickText. This is helpful if you have multiple situations that are similar and you don't want to retype all of your content - you can duplicate your QuickText and modify the copies to suit your needs.
   3. Delete: click on the red garbage can beside your QuickText. This action cannot be undone.

   2. If you decide to "Create QuickText", click on the button, fill out the information you want to include, decide if you want to share with all users, and then click Save. Select this QuickText from your list and then click on Apply.
6. Your QuickText will show up in the text box. You can make any modifications to the content to customize it for your customer. These changes will not be saved in the Quicktext template, only in the report you are editing.
7. When you select the book icon you can also complete the following actions:
   1. Edit: click on the pencil icon beside your QuickText. Make any modifications you need to and then save your changes.
   2. Copy: click on the copy icon beside your QuickText. This is helpful if you have multiple situations that are similar and you don't want to retype all of your content - you can duplicate your QuickText and modify the copies to suit your needs.

   2. If there was no text in the text box, a blank template form will open.
      1. Complete the name and description fields, decide if you want to Share with all users, and then click Save to add this QuickText to your Library.
