Attributes tab

This tab offers a flexible way to show any additional information that is considered important by PIRO Fusion users on the price quotes. The fields shown on this panel represent the attributes of a custom attribute list assigned to price quotes. The content shown on the image above represents only an example (it is not the content that PIRO Fusion provides by default) and it is totally customizable. PIRO Fusion users can freely select the custom attribute list attached to the price quote and can also determine the attributes that the list contains (which ultimately determine the content that is shown on the Attributes panel).
