Organising Projects and Parts

Updated by Francine Dupont

We provide many tools to help you organise your work. To best understand these features, let's review the primary objects used within our digital quoting platform—Projects, Quotes, Orders, and Parts.

Projects

Projects are folders that help you organise your Quotes and Orders. You can create as many Projects as you like, and they can be renamed or archived whenever you wish. You can also move your Quotes and Orders between Projects.

Create a Project

Click the vertical ellipsis to rename or archive a Project.

Quotes

Quotes are similar to shopping carts, with a key difference that you may have multiple quotes active at the same time. You can have many Parts within each Quote, but each Quote is limited to a single manufacturing service.

Projects Contain Quotes

When a Quote is ordered, it transitions into an Order. The Quote number remains the same on the Order.

You can do a lot with your Quotes! Click on the vertical ellipsis to view your options.

Quote Options
  • If you Duplicate a Quote, it will copy all the Parts within the Quote into a new Quote.
  • You can Print a Quote or save it as a PDF.
  • Use the Forward option to share Quotes with others.
  • You can Move Quotes between Projects.
  • You can Archive/Unarchive Quotes.

Orders

Orders are simply Quotes that you, well, ordered. You can view your Orders from within your Projects or from your Order History to see current status, print a copy or save as a PDF, and reorder. The Order number is the same number that was on the originating Quote.
