Introduction
You can use "merge fields" to dynamically read field values from Salesforce into quotes. This means that you can not only map information very quickly in the quote, but you can also be sure that it is up-to-date.
| Note |
|---|
We recommend including the required mergefields right in the quote template. In this way, the effort required to create the individual quotes is significantly reduced. If you want to use variables also in the quote process, please activate the "Variables sidebar Mergefield-Sidebar available" setting in the Functionality |
If you need additional variables in the quote process, you can add them via the Mergefields sidebar with just a few clicks.
The mergefields sidebar in the quote editor
You can access the sidebar in the editor whenever you are in the inline editing mode of one of the following quote items:
Address range
Text element
Product description
Header and Footer
To do this, click once in the quote item and then click the pencil icon:
.png?version=1&modificationDate=1640874471778&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680)
Both the rich text editing and the Mergefields sidebar at the right editor edge will open:
.png?version=1&modificationDate=1640874489344&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
The following actions are available here:
Display in the editor | Function | Explanation | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 .png?version=1&modificationDate=1640874777805&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680) | Select categoryobject | In the top input field you can filter the display to the referenced object:
The list of available variables is restricted accordingly. | ||
 .png?version=1&modificationDate=1640875023085&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680) | Search Mergefield | Via full text search you can search for the desired variable or the associated value. | ||
 .png?version=1&modificationDate=1640875036825&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680) | Display of the variable, including the value in the current quote |
| ||
 .png?version=1&modificationDate=1640875047493&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680) | Click once on the desired variable to load it into the clipboard. The variable will be highlighted in blue. | The double click has no function here, the simple marking is enough. |
A toast shows you the successful transfer to the clipboard:
.png?version=1&modificationDate=1640875069704&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
Via Copy & Paste you can now place the variable in the text area:
.png?version=1&modificationDate=1640875086998&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680)
As soon as you leave the editing mode, the variable is read out:
.png?version=1&modificationDate=1640875099690&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=680)
