Creating A Quote CSV
Before you can import your quotes, you will need to create a quote CSV.
There are two ways of creating quote CSVs in Clik Service.
The first way is to go to Tools > CSV Import > Quotes.
When that has opened it will look like the below. Go to the top right corner and go to Create CSV Template > Standard Quote Template and choose somewhere to save it.
When it is saved, open the CSV and it will look like the image below.
Then fill in the columns. Each line is the information needed for each quote.
*Please note: if you are not sure what a column is, scroll down to the bottom of this page to see additional details*
The second way of creating a CSV would only be used if you already have a system that holds your quotes. Most systems allow you to extract into a CSV file, which can be saved into Excel.
Instead of using our default CSV templates as above, you can map the fields from the CSV template that your current system produces to Clik Service and use them again any time you want. This will stop copy/pasting into the Clik CSV files and save you some time.
To learn how to do this please see this video tutorial.
Import Into Clik Service
Once you have created the CSV, you are now ready to import it into Clik Service.
To do this go to Tools > CSV Import > Quotes and click on 'Import'.
It will then ask you to find your CSV, find it and click 'Open'. It will list all the quotes down the side. You can check are happy with them and then click 'Save'. This will save them into Clik Service.
