About QuoteMaker's Print, Fax, EMail and Xport
Formats
On the Newton, any time you send or
receive data to and from your Newton to any other device it is known
as routing. With QuoteMaker, there are many ways to format your data
depending on the type of routing you are doing. Some of the common
formats are as follows.....
Formats for Routing via Print or Fax
- Standard format is suitable for printing out
quote information to share with a customer. It print out detailed
information about each item in the quote.
- Summary format only prints detailed
information about each category, but only lists the description
and quantity of each item instead of their individual costs. Using
this format, the customer can see a total value for say
"Workstations", and see what is contained in the category called
"Workstations", but will not see the individual price of each
item.
- Confidentail Format prints out in "landscape"
mode on a printer and displays detailed information about the
quote which you would probaly not want your client seeing. Data
includes costs and manufacturer names and part #'s
Formats for EMail, Xport and Auto-Delivery

types are similar to there Print and Fax counterparts excepts the

Courier
