Edit your quote template

You can edit your quote template by hitting the edit button in the above dialog. Please note that the report generator is an external product. Every time you edit something, you should first create a backup of the file you edit. Just save the edited file under a different name. Please also only change the SQL queries, if you really know what you are doing. A change might result in malfunction of the template.

You can also edit the template directly in the dialog, where you enter your positions / items for the quote. If you fill the quote with data and then edit the template you get a better overview of your changes.
