# Create a quotation layout

A quotation layout controls how the quotation PDF looks.

It defines what the customer sees when you generate the quotation.

### What a layout controls

A layout can control:

* the visible quotation fields and parameters
* the columns on the quotation lines
* the header and footer
* whether attachments are added to the PDF

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the quotation settings

Go to **Quotes**.

Then click the **cogwheels** in the top right.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add a new layout

In the **Layout** section, click **Add**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Name the layout

Give the layout a clear name.

That makes it easier to select later in a quotation scheme.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose the PDF options

Decide whether attachments should be included in the quotation PDF.

Also decide whether the work order PDF should be added.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure the content

Review the default quotation layout.

Add extra parameters if needed.

Enable the columns you want to show.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add notes, header, and footer

Choose whether notes should appear as a separate line.

Add a header or footer when needed.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save the layout

Click **Save** in the top right.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Keep attachments below 10 MB when you include them in the PDF.

Large files can cause PDF generation or email delivery issues.
{% endhint %}

### Good to know

A fully custom layout is possible through the source code option.

That requires HTML knowledge.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/backoffice/backoffice/quotes/create-a-quotation-layout.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
