Hello Guys.

Have been searching trying to find a simple answer to this one but my search
queries arent getting me to the results

I'm setting up a template for business quotes
As part of our quotes we supply a technical specification
This can change from quote to quote. IE different ceiling types or flooring
options

I seek a simple way for the person carrying out the quote to select from a
number of different line options to insert a tailored specification into the
quote

Our basic specification generally has about 8 different headings and about
6-7 different selections/options under each heading

What would be the simplest way to create something like this

Thanks

Paul

You may be able to make the specifications into AutoText entries, and
then use AutoTextList fields to let users choose which one to insert
in each place.
