Uploading Files

The MobileForce CPQ application creates Proposal Documentation that you can send to your customers once the quote is complete and has been approved, if necessary. Proposal documentation is generated from the selected template, which reference one or more files that have been uploaded to the Mobileforce CPQ application.

For more information, see Adding or Editing Document Templates.

This documentation is generated as a PDF file based on Documentation Templates that use source documents, typically Microsoft Word or Excel documents, that have been uploaded to the application. Then admins can create a Document Template in MobileForce CPQ that reference these uploaded files, so that they will be used when a sales rep creates proposal documentaiton using that template.

To create, edit, and mange these files, click Uploaded Files from the CPQ Setup page.

Template file contents

The source template documents typically contain a proposal boilerplate, marketing information, customer testimonials, and legal terms and conditions.

Additionally, admins can embed OpenTBS macros(https://www.tinybutstrong.com) into these template documents. You can use these macros to map to information from form fields in the quote. These form fields have unique names that must be referenced in the template documents, and defined in the associated Quote UI Layout.
