Quote Sections on Tradify Web and Mobile

Understand more about Quote Sections on Tradify's web app.

Quote Sections offer an excellent way to break up quotes into different segments. This is really useful if you need to separate your costs by stages of work.

Important Note: Sections are saved to the individual Quote, not the account. This means, you will need to create a new set of sections for every new quote created.

Additionally, Sections are only visible/usable on Quotes. They will not transfer over to any other feature in Tradify. However, you can copy a section into a Job Task. For more information on this process, please see here.

 

Creating Quote Sections

You can create as many Quote Sections as you like, and there is no limit to the number of items that can be assigned to any section.

There are also two ways to create Quote sections:

  • You can either do it whilst adding a new line item on the quote
  • You can create a section by clicking on an existing line item.

We'll cover off both scenarios for you below.

 

Creating a Section from a New Line Item

To add a new line item:

  1. Click on Add Line Item.
  2. Select the relevant line item type (Time, Price List, Miscellaneous, Kit).
  3. Locate the Section field.
  4. Click the + icon.

  5. Once you've added all the relevant details to your line item, click OK. The line item will be created along with your section.

How sections are displayed

As an example to show you how sections are displayed, we've created two sections and added identical line items to them. Notice how each section has its own cost, gross profit and total.

Quote Sections help break up parts of a Quote. We suggest this if you're breaking up sections for different stages of work. 

Just like on the web app, Quote Sections only apply for an individual Quote and can only be used within the Quotes feature. You can copy sections into Job Tasks, read more about it here.
