FAQs
What does formatting the Price Table Totals section mean?
Formatting the Price Table Totals section in QuoteCloud means customising how the rows at the bottom of your price table are presented, including subtotals, discounts, taxes and the grand total. This covers label wording, text styles, layout, alignment and display options so totals are clear and professional-looking in generated quotes, proposals and invoices.
What parts of the totals section can I format?
You can format text styles (font, size, colour), alignment, background colour, borders, label wording, row order, spacing and visibility for each line in the totals area. These options let you make specific lines stand out or blend with your document design depending on your brand and the document type.
Can I highlight the grand total separately from other totals?
Yes. QuoteCloud lets you apply distinct styling to the grand total row so the final amount draws immediate attention. Common options include bold or larger text, a contrasting background colour, a border or unique alignment to make the grand total unmistakable in quotes and proposals.
Can I use formatting to separate subtotals, discounts, and taxes for clarity?
Yes. Use visual distinctions such as different background colours, spacing, separators and label styling to make subtotals, discounts and taxes easy to identify. Clear formatting shows how each component contributes to the final amount and reduces the risk of client misinterpretation.
Will totals formatting appear in exported PDFs and printed documents?
Yes. Formatting applied in the Price Table Totals section is reflected in generated documents from QuoteCloud, including PDFs and printed proposals, quotes and invoices. That ensures the visual emphasis you set in the editor carries through to the final documents your clients receive.
How does formatting the totals section benefit my sales quoting and proposal workflows?
Proper totals formatting emphasises key financial figures, improves readability for clients and keeps quotes, proposals and invoices consistent with your brand. For businesses using sales quoting software or sales proposal software, clear totals increase professionalism and can speed client approvals and payments.
Can I hide or reorder specific totals lines, for example to hide discounts or show taxes last?
Yes. QuoteCloud provides controls for row order and visibility so you can hide lines you don’t want to show, reorder totals (for example placing taxes below subtotals) and adjust spacing to match the narrative of your document.
What are best practices for formatting the totals section so clients understand prices quickly?
Use high contrast and larger/bolder text for the grand total, keep label wording concise and consistent, separate subtotals/discounts/taxes with spacing or subtle background differences, and avoid excessive colours that distract from the numbers. Also preview the layout in PDF and on mobile to ensure your formatting remains clear across devices.
