Sending quotes this way is advised as then a record of when the quote was sent is easily accessible from the opportunity ticket. To send a Quote from the Opportunity Ticket it is associated with, you will need to use an Action with the System Use of "Email Quotation". </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Using an Action with this System Use will follow the option "Attach quotation PDF when sending email" in Configuration > Quotations > General Settings. If disabled, the PDF will not be attached when sending both from the Quotation itself or the Ticket.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjZmM2M2ZWNjLTAzMWEtNDI5Yi04ZDIxLTFlZTJlMzg3NjE2OCJ9.WGJ_ko_5OzVYzH-Ep8WQp5XXVjJ36O_IcSIknGZzWDg" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" width="609" style="width: 611px; height: 496.495px;" height="496"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Fig 28.
