FAQs
What does changing the order of columns mean?
Changing the order of columns means rearranging the sequence of fields in your QuoteCloud price table so the information displays in the order you prefer—for example, moving the "Quantity" column before the "Description" column. In sales quoting software and quote software this helps you control how a quote or proposal is presented to customers.
How do I reorder columns in a price table in QuoteCloud?
Open the price table editor in QuoteCloud, then click and drag any column heading to the new position you want and release to drop it into place. The table will automatically update to reflect the new column order, making it quick and intuitive to adjust layouts in this sales proposal software.
Can I reorder every column in the price table?
Yes. Any column can be repositioned, including Description, Quantity, Unit Price, Discounts, Totals and custom columns you’ve added. QuoteCloud’s quote software gives you full control so you can tailor the layout to match your business or industry requirements.
Does changing the column order affect calculations like totals, discounts, or taxes?
No. Reordering columns only changes how information is displayed; all underlying calculations for totals, discounts, and taxes remain accurate and are not affected by the visual layout change.
Why would I want to change the column order?
Reordering columns helps you highlight the most important information first, align price tables with your company’s quoting standards, and make documents easier for clients to read. A clearer presentation in your proposal software or sales quoting software can improve client comprehension and speed up decision-making.
Is reordering columns easy to do and change later if needed?
Yes. The drag-and-drop editor makes it fast and intuitive to change column order; you can repeat the same steps at any time to adjust the layout again until it matches your preferred format.
Are custom columns supported when reordering a price table?
Yes. Custom columns you add to the price table can be dragged into any position just like default fields, enabling you to create tailored layouts in your quote software that reflect unique pricing, codes, or service details.
How does the column order affect the customer-facing quote or proposal?
Column order controls the visual flow of your document, helping you surface the most relevant details first and improve readability for customers. In sales proposal software and quote software, a well-ordered table can make pricing easier to understand and speed up approval or purchasing decisions.
