| ( 3.) Days Since Quote Presented | The number of days since the quote was presented to the customer. You can use this metric to determine whether you must quickly follow up with a customer. |
| ( 4.) Days Quote in Draft | The days that your quote has been in draft. You can present quotes to customers or follow up on presented quotes if there are a number of quotes in draft. |

| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| ( 1.) #Unquoted Members | Members of a given account that haven’t accepted a quote. For example, if World Telecommunications has members in California and Texas, and you have quoted California members, the Texas members represent the unquoted members. You can see where the members have denied the quotes. Hover over the unquoted members number to see the details. |
| ( 2.) Total # Order Items | Total Order Items represents the total of order line items. For example, if your customer, World Telecommunications, has purchased 951 cable boxes, then the total Order Items is 951.
