LASSO's Quote module is a powerful tool that allows you to customize your quotes to meet the specific needs of your clients. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you build a quote.
Quote Blocks
Once you've set up the look of your quote with a template and theme, it's time to update the content of your quote. To get started, click Add Resources in your quote block.
The quote block will resize based on the content added to it automatically.
Now we can select exactly how the information on the quote will be presented.
For a resource type such as gear or labor to be included in the quote, that resource must be checked off.
Next, click the cog icon to open up configuration options for the resource type.
As you make updates, be sure to Apply Changes to view your quote in real time.

1. Configure the Gear Section
Rename the Section: You can rename the gear section to something more appropriate for your client, such as "Equipment" or "Items."
Select Orders: If you have multiple orders for the event, you can choose which orders to include in the quote.
Detail Level: Decide how much detail to show. You can choose to display the total price, order, group names, or individual items within each group. You can also show all child items within packages.
Columns: At the Group and Order detail levels, choose which financial columns appear on the quote, including Sub-Total, Discount, and Total. Drag the columns in the list to set the order they appear on the document, and click the pencil icon on a column row to rename its header—for example, renaming "Qty" to "Units." The Description column is always included; you can move it, but not hide it. Column order and custom labels carry through to the rendered document and are saved with your configuration templates.
Group Subtotals and Discounts: Each group can display its pre-discount subtotal and its discount amount, controlled by separate toggles.
Public Notes: Choose where public notes appear on the gear section. The Order, Group, and Line-item levels each have their own show/hide toggle, so you can display notes at one level without showing them at the others.
Show Internal Only Groups: On a Production List, this option brings gear groups marked Internal Only back into view — useful for an internal-facing copy that shows everything on the order, including groups hidden from the client's quote.
2. Configure Labor
Labor Number Options:
Bulk Labor Amount: Enter a single dollar amount for the total labor cost.
Express Labor Estimation: Enter a bulk number of hours in the Schedule Plus tab.
Scheduled Shifts: Use the scheduled shifts from the Schedule Plus tab to show the assumed labor costs.
Detail Level: Similar to the gear section, you can choose to show as much or as little information as you want, including shift start and end times.
Columns: Labor columns can be dragged into any order and renamed with the pencil icon, the same as gear columns. The Position Name column is always included—you can move it, but not hide it.
3. Configure Trucking Logistics
Total Logistics Amount: Enter a total amount for logistics and provide a commentary on what the charge covers.
4. Configure Crew Travel
Bulk Travel Amount: Enter a total amount for travel and outline the costs.
5. Add Additional Charges
Check the Section: Ensure the "Additional Charges" section is checked to include it in your quote.
Add a Charge: Click the pencil button, select a charge type (e.g., admin fee), and enter the total amount.
Miscellaneous Charge Types can be added from your Company Inventory Settings
Expense Amount: Optionally, include the expense amount (this is not visible to the client).
Check the Charge: Make sure the additional charge is checked to appear on the quote.
6. Add Service Fees
Service Fees: A service fee is typically a percentage of the total amount.
Combined or Separate: In the block's Service Fees configuration, choose Combined total to roll your fees into a single Service Fees line, or Separate lines to show each service fee on its own line—useful if your account applies multiple fee profiles.
Check the Section: Ensure the "Service Fees" section is checked to include it in your quote.
7. Add Sales Tax
Tax Regions: Sales Tax is configured in your Company Inventory settings, and is based on the venue address.
Percentage or Manual Entry: You can either enter a percentage for sales tax manually input a dollar amount.
8. Totals Settings
Totals and Subtotals: Choose which totals and subtotals are displayed on your quote, including section subtotals, pre-discount subtotals, group discount amounts, and the overall quote total.
Order Totals & Resource Totals: On a gear quote block, the Order Totals and Resource (Gear) Totals blocks each have their own line-level visibility toggles — Pre-Discount Sub-Total, Discount, Additional Discount, and Total — so you can show one block, the other, or just the lines you want. This is especially useful on a block with a single order, where the two blocks would otherwise show the same figures twice.
9. Adjust the Order of Items
Reorder Items: You can reorder any of the items and objects on your quote to suit your preferences.
10. Add Summary Blocks
Add a Summary Block: Add a summary block to your quote from the toolbar. Summary blocks are the same configurable summary sections available on invoices, giving your client a rolled-up view of the quote's totals.
Choose the Grouping: Group the summary by GL code, revenue type, or resource type.
Visibility Toggles: Quote blocks include Exclude from Totals and Hide from Quote toggles, so you control whether a block counts toward the totals and whether it displays on the quote.
Default Configuration: Your default summary block configuration template can be applied automatically based on the settings on the Document Template.
Saved Configurations: Summary block settings are managed on the Document Block Configurations settings page, alongside your other saved block configurations (see Managing Document Block Configurations below).
Where It Shows: Summary blocks render in the quote preview, the PDF export, and on the public share page.
Saving a Quote Configuration
Once your quote block is set up the way you want it, save those choices as a Quote Configuration and reuse them on future documents. Look for the Quote Configuration icon in the upper right corner of your quote block:
Give the configuration a name, or overwrite an existing one.
Applying a Saved Quote Configuration
As you start a new document, use the Quote Configuration button to apply a saved configuration to the quote block, then pick the one you want from the drop-down.
Quote Configurations aren't only for quotes — the same saved configurations are available on invoices and Production Lists.
Managing Document Block Configurations
Your saved configurations live under Administration → Company Inventory Settings → Document Block Configurations—quote, invoice, and document-type configurations together on one page. The page is fully editable: open a configuration to view and change its settings, with a live preview that matches what you see in the builder, so you can adjust a saved configuration without opening a quote. You can also create, rename, and delete configurations here; creating, editing, and deleting are controlled by permissions.
Each configuration's summary card shows exactly the options the builder offers for that configuration type, hiding the ones that don't apply—a production-list configuration, for example, shows no tax, fee, totals, or price-column rows, because those aren't part of a production list. For a quote configuration, the summary includes:
Columns: At the Order and Group levels of detail, the gear columns the configuration has enabled. Total is shown by default; Sub-Total and Discount are opt-in. The configuration also stores your column order and any custom column labels.
Order Totals and Resource Totals: The line-level selections for Pre-Discount Sub-Total, Discount, Additional Discount, and Total.
Summary Block settings live on this page too, alongside the other block settings.
Saving configurations keeps quotes consistent whoever sends them, saves setting the format up from scratch each time, and presents a polished, uniform document to your clients.
The options for quote configurations are seemingly endless, and we look forward to seeing how you build your quotes and documents.
