*'''Quotes'''—the list of Quotes and Quotes request.

*'''Projects'''—the list of projects.

*'''Payables'''—the amount you pay for each project.

*'''Invoices'''—the invoices due to be paid or already paid projects.

*'''Payments'''—the payments paid by you to the translation agency.

=='''Quote menu'''==

Here you can find your '''Quotes''' and '''Quote requests'''.

Quote request is a request for a potential project. Let's assume that you want to send translation request, but first, you would like to know how much it will cost, time frames for implementation etc.

In order to save your time, you can create a quote request and send it to your manager. The manager will create the quote and if you agree with the conditions, you or the manager can create the  project after all. 

You may also create quote requests if you are simply not sure yet you want to have the project with the company.

==='''New quote request'''===

There are two ways to create a quote request:

1. Press the '''Quotes''' menu on the top panel and then click New quote request:

In both cases, it will open the '''New quote request''' page where you can specify all basic details for a new quote request:

Confirm all details with the "Save" button or "Save & Send" buttons. 

If you press '''"Save"''', you can update your quote details, manage input files and send it after.

Once the quote request is sent, the manager will get a notification and you will not be able to update it.
