Offer Settings

The page allows you to create and manage reusable preference sets that define how proposals are structured, which pages are included, and what content appears on each page.

Purpose of This Page

Offer preferences help standardize proposal creation across your organization in solarVis. By defining preference sets, you can ensure consistent proposal layouts, texts, and visibility rules while still allowing flexibility for different markets, languages, or proposal styles.

You can set one preference as the company default and create additional sets to support alternative configurations.

Using offer preferences results in:

• A defined default proposal structure for your company

• Consistent proposal layouts and content across projects and users

• Controlled visibility and presentation of proposal pages and data

What You Can Do Here

On this page, you can:

• Create new offer preference sets

• Set one preference as the default for your company

• Duplicate existing preference sets

• Delete unused preference sets

• Select the proposal (quote) language
