Enter a document name.
This name refers to the document after Salesforce CPQ saves it to its target destination and as a document record. Salesforce CPQ saves the name only when you click Save or send it to an external application. Clicking Preview alone does not save the name.
- Choose any other documents you want to add.
-
Choose one of the following actions.
- Save
- Creates the document, saves it to its target destination, and creates a Salesforce CPQ document record.
- Save & Email
- Creates the document and opens a page where you can attach the document to a contact record. You can copy more recipients, create an email, and attach other files.
- In Salesforce Classic, clicking Save & Email opens a new browser tab that remains open after sending the email. In Salesforce Lightning, the new browser tab closes after sending the email.
- Preview
- Opens a sample of your quote document. This sample appears in a pop-up window unless an administrator has enabled Full Page Preview in Salesforce CPQ’s package-level configuration settings. You can Save or Save & Email your file, then open it and print it from your device if needed. As of Salesforce CPQ Spring ‘19, you can also download or print your preview document directly from the Salesforce CPQ preview page.
- Cancel
- Cancel document creation and return to your quote record.
