On top of adding metrics and charts, it's also now possible to add data tables to proposal templates. Now, it will be easier to present Adders, Incentives, Batteries, and Energy Efficiency items in tabular form on proposals - with complete details and a couple of clicks!
How do I add a data table?
To add a data table to a proposal, you may follow these steps:
Duplicate the template you'd like to edit
Select the page where you'd like to add a data table (you can totally add a new page as well!)
Click Edit on the upper right side of the screen
Once the menu loads, click Insert > chose Data Tables > and then select the data table that you'd like to have on your proposal (options are: adders, incentives, batteries, EE items).
This will insert a dynamic table, on the template.
Can I delete columns and further customize the table?
Yes! You can delete columns and customize the table further by using the native table controls. However, to add back deleted columns, you'll need to delete the table and recreate a new one by following the steps above.
What does each of the data tables contain?
The data tables show all significant details for all adders, battery, energy efficiency, and homeowner incentives that are included in a project. These details include:
Adder Data Table
Adder Project Type
Adder Cost Category
Adder Name
Adder Quantity
Adder Price
Battery Data Table
Battery Manufacturer
Battery Model
Battery Count
Battery Capacity
Battery Power Rating
Battery Warranty
Energy Efficiency Data Table
EE Equipment Type
EE Manufacturer
EE Model
EE Count
EE Capacity
Homeowner Incentives Data Table
Incentive Type
Incentive Name
Incentive Value
How will the data tables be presented for more than one quote?
The Homeowner Incentives Data table and Adders table could vary depending on the financing product used to quote. Since we have options to present more than one financing product in a proposal, these tables would be presented in two different ways:
When the table is inserted on a page that repeats per quote, then the table is specific to the quote.
On the other hand, when the table is inserted on a page that does not repeat per quote, then the table repeats for every quote, by repeating vertically
What if a data table is included on the Proposal template, but there are no values to show for the Project?
Not all projects would have energy efficiency equipment or batteries. In these cases, this message will be displayed on the proposal: "There are no batteries/energy efficiency equipment on this project".
