Changing What Appears on Your Document with Tags
You can change how the PDF will look by downloading and editing the Word document that is the 'template'. You can make the template show the data by inserting 'tags'. These are replaced with data when Zigaflow creates and previews your document. Once you have updated your document in Word you need to upload.
Mixing Tables
If you need to show more details on some items but less on others (such as product finishes, or mixing product sales with maintenance and support contracts) you can do this with the PDF Groups functionality.
How Tags Work
All the tags except those marked as 'Quotation Items' and 'Quotation Sections' will generally appear just once in your document. You can have them multiple times if you wish, but they will repeat the same data (i.e. a client's name).
'Quotation Items' and 'Quotation Sections' need to be inside a Word table in order to expand correctly with the different line items in your quotation. To understand more about how the system manages these templates see here.
Editing PDF Templates
This video takes you through the process. Use the tags references below to make sure the PDF template includes the information you want to show.
Using Tags on Emails
This works the same way except where a link is used, for example to a client page or referring to the quote's edit page. See this article:
Including Links to Quotes, Jobs etc. in your Emails
