Tips & Tricks in Review: October 2021

Written by Myranda Sauls | Nov 2, 2021 3:43:55 PM

Every week we send out an email to existing clients with helpful tips and tricks for using Details Flowers Software. The Support Team looks at trending questions each month and works to identify ways we can help to spread knowledge to everyone using the platform. Make sure you're subscribed to the Education & Support messages from Details to get these helpful emails! 


Here's a recap of what we covered in October in the Tips & Tricks series!


Proposal Settings

Customize your proposals with the new Proposal Settings menu. Choose what information you want to appear on your Proposals, set a custom font, and more!

Head over the the 'Proposal' tab of any event and you'll see the 'Proposal Settings' area in the top-left of the page. Here you will see the following options:

  • Theme: Choose the Proposal theme you would like to use for your event from the drop-down menu. Don't see one you want to use? Visit our Marketplace to purchase a new premium proposal template!
  • Page Number: Choose what you would like to appear on your footer using the 'Format' field. Choose to use Proposal Tokens or type in your own! Select your alignment from the drop-down menu so your footer will appear on the bottom left, right, or center of each page
  • Fonts: Choose your Primary and Secondary fonts from the corresponding fields. There are over 1,000 Google fonts to choose from!
  • Company Info Header: Change your company logo and company information per event! Want to include a specific designer's email? How about switching between logos and addresses for multiple locations? Now you can!

 

Proposal Templates 

As floral and event designers, time is extremely valuable. At Details, we recognize this by implementing the ability to create templates of your Worksheets and Event Terms. Now, we have added the option to save your Proposals as a template as well for you to easily load into future events!

Saving A Template

  • Click the 'Menu' button in the upper right-hand corner of the 'Proposal Settings' section
  • Select 'Save As' from the available options
  • On the resulting box, select 'Save As A Template' from the drop-down menu
  • Enter a description for your template and click 'Save'

What Is Saved In A Template

Proposal Defaults
 
We had so many users request the option to set Defaults on the Proposal page, such as hiding pages and sections by default and setting a default counter signature. Well, now you can! Choose what you want to hide or show for every Proposal and make any adjustments needed per event!
 

Saving Your Defaults

  • Click the 'Menu' button in the upper right-hand corner of the 'Proposal Settings' section
