FAQs
What does changing the totals section labels mean?
Changing the totals section labels means updating the default text shown in a QuoteCloud price table’s totals area. For example, you can rename “Subtotal” to “Before Tax Amount” or change “Total” to “Grand Total” so the wording better matches your business or a client’s expectations.
How can I change the labels in the totals section?
Open the price table editor in QuoteCloud, navigate to the totals section, click the label you want to edit, type the new label text, and save your changes. Edits update the visible label in that price table immediately. The process is the same whether you use QuoteCloud as sales quoting software or sales proposal software.
Can I change multiple labels at once?
Yes. Each label in the totals section is editable individually, but you can update several labels during the same editing session by selecting and editing each one before saving. This makes it fast to standardise wording across subtotal, discounts, taxes and total lines in your quote software or proposal software.
Do label changes affect the calculations?
No. Changing labels only alters the visible text in the totals area. Subtotals, discounts, taxes and the overall total remain calculated correctly — label edits do not change numeric logic or formulas used by the quote software.
Will my label changes apply to other price tables or templates?
Label edits apply to the specific price table you edit and take effect immediately in that document. If you want the same wording across many quotes or proposals, update the master template or save the modified price table as part of a template so your sales quoting software and sales proposal software consistently use the same labels.
Why would I want to change these labels?
Customising totals labels helps align pricing terminology with your company’s language or a specific client’s expectations. Clear, familiar labels reduce confusion, improve the professional appearance of quotes and proposals, and make documents produced by your quote software easier for clients to interpret.
What are best practices for choosing totals labels?
Keep labels short, customer-friendly and consistent across all documents. Use plain language (for example, “Subtotal” vs “Before Tax Amount”) and be explicit about tax or discount lines. Preview the quote or proposal to ensure labels don’t truncate and test with a colleague or client-facing template before sending.
How can I improve the presentation of my totals in QuoteCloud?
Use clear labels, show a simple tax and discount breakdown, and keep numeric formats consistent (currency, decimals). Update your document templates in QuoteCloud so totals styling and wording match your brand. These small tweaks make quotes and proposals easier to read and help close more deals when using sales quoting software or proposal software.
