New adjustment to iQuote ensures that there is always a Hard Disk Drive in a Server quote when needed. The iQuote development team listens to user feedback to better iQuote. In response to recent feedback iQuote now generates a non-critical (blue) alert – ‘No Hard Disk’ – when the following conditions apply to a quote:
1) No HDD installed as standard in the chosen system unit.
2) No HDD added to the quote.
3) At least one other option has been added to the quote or the quote has been saved.

This will prompt users to add Hard Disk Drives to Servers. If you have any other feedback, the easiest way to leave it is through the omni-present Feedback function at the bottom of the iQuote page (as this user did).

iQuote allows users to view the configuration notes against options in a consolidated list via the Validation Checklist. If a user missed the Option Configuration Notes or maybe built a solution via a Bundle or Shopping List then it can now be browsed from the Validation Checklist – reducing the possibility of missing something.

iQuote currently runs an information ‘i’ icon alongside options available to systems, which offers advice about the validation of the option against the system being created. This feature has now been extended to the Validation Checklist in iQuote, as a result the efficiency of creating quotes is increased and important information is not missed!
The interface will display the information in a hover menu over the information icon. In the near future this information will be extended to the Export feature of your quote. We hope this enhancement will improve your iQuote experience.

Jump from iQuote to HP Documents on the fly. iQuote’s aim is to provide users with the ability to build complex sales quotations easily. However, sometimes users need some extra technical information in order to position a solution with a customer and this is available from HP in the form of QuickSpecs and Data Sheets. Rather than duplicate this information in iQuote we would like to leverage it so now you can link from a server to the correct HP QuickSpec and where available Data Sheet.
HP QuickSpecs contains official technical information provided by HP on their products. The product specific information includes:
- Images
- Standard Features
- Configurable Components
- Technical Specifications
- System Details
- Service and Support
