		+
		+	== Misconfiguration ==
		+
		+	If the Smart Quotes user does not configure properly the system properties in the mask (e.g. missing values, inconsistent values, un-selected items etc.), it may not be possible for the user to access to the [[Description of the Menu Price \| Price]], [[Description of the Menu Documents \| Documents]] and [[Description of the Menu Order \| Order]] menus, as shown in the following example:
		+
		+
		+	[[File:MetisSmartQuotesLimits.PNG\|center\|850x750px]]
		+
		+
		+	The normal contents of the [[Description of the Menu Price \| Price]], [[Description of the Menu Documents \| Documents]] and [[Description of the Menu Order \| Order]] menus is replaced by a table that lists the found errors, per system and/or sub-systems.
		+
		+	The table contains the following details for each misconfigured system or sub-system:
		+	* a description of the error
		+	* the expected or the maximum authorized value
		+	* the value inputted by the Smart Quotes user
		+	* the difference between the inputted value and the maximum authorized value
		+
		+	To be able to access to the menus, the Smart Quotes user has to modify accordingly his/her selection in the configuration masks.
		+
		+
		+	== Configuration Mask Restrictions ==
		+
		+	In some cases, the Smart Quotes user may not be able to edit the properties of a system or subsystems using the configuration masks.
		+
		+	If the offer has been [[Description of the Menu Documents#Blocking an Offer \| locked]] or [[Description of the Menu Order \| ordered]], the Smart Quotes user cannot edit the configuration masks (they are in a read-only mode), as shown in the following example:
		+
		+
		+	[[File:MetisSmartQuotesMaskLockedOffer.PNG\|center\|850x750px]]
		+
		+
		+	However, the Smart Quotes user can still copy a system or a subsystem using the [[#Description of the Right-Click Menu Features \| right-click menu option]]. The copied system or subsystem can then be copied to another offer.
		+
		+	If the Smart Quotes user is not authorized to use a system or a subsystem, the user does not see at all the configuration masks, as shown in the following example:
		+
		+
		+	[[File:MetisSmartQuotesDesignMenuWithUnauthorizedSystem.PNG\|center\|850x750px]]
		+
		+
		+	When [[#Description of the Right-Click Menu Features \| right-clicking]] on the system icon, the Smart Quotes user can only delete the system. The other menu options are not available.

Creation of the Page

New page

The Design menu allow to configure the offer. To configure the offer, the Smart Quotes user should fill in the modeling masks that have been designed for each system and/or subsystem.
In these modeling masks, the Smart Quotes user can type in some values, tick / untick checkboxes, select items from drop-down lists etc.

The Design menu consists of buttons, a table and a drawing pad, as shown in the following examples:

[Screenshots of the Design menu with 1 system, some masks and a picture with focus on the system then on the masks]

Under the Design tab, the following buttons are available:

* [[#Add | Add]]
* [[#Delete | Delete]]
* [[#Move | Move]]

{{Note
| The buttons are hidden if the Smart Quotes user has selected a mask or a group of masks in the table below the buttons area.
}}

The table lists the systems and the subsystems added to the current offer. Below each system or subsystem are displayed the masks that have been designed to help the Smart Quotes user to configure a system or a subsystem. For some masks named a group of masks, there could be a set of masks. In a group of masks, tabs are displayed on the top of the drawing pad area to allow the Smart Quotes user to navigate through all the masks included within the group of masks.

The following icons allow to distinguish a mask from a group of masks:

{| style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: grey; padding: 5"
!style="border-style: solid; border-color: grey; border-width: 0 1px 1px 0" | Icon
!style="border-style: solid; border-color: grey; border-width: 0 0 1px 0" | Description

|style="border-style: solid; border-color: grey; border-width: 0 0 0 0" | Group of masks
|}

The drawing pad shows a graphical representation of the systems and/or the subsystems added to the current offer. The contents of the drawing pad varies according the item selected in the table to the left of the drawing pad. If a system or a subsystem has been selected by the Smart Quotes user, the graphical representation of the systems and/or the subsystems is displayed. If a mask or a group of masks has been selected by the Smart Quotes user, the corresponding mask or group of masks is displayed.

On the drawing pad, when right-clicking on the graphical representation of a system or of a subsystem, [[#Description of the Right-Click Menu Features|additional features]] are available.

!!! Check if the following text is still applicable - Extract from p 68 of the QSBW user Manual !!!

Please note: The objects (label of field) within the tabs of masks may appear underlined and in blue font. This means that further help exists for the user. This help, defined by the QSPM Administrator, can be accessed by clicking on the object.

== Add ==

The '''Add''' button allows the Smart Quotes user to add a new system to the current offer. Upon clicking on this button, the following window appears:

[Screenshot of pop up window when Add is pressed]

The Description table shows the list of existing system and/or subsystems in the current offer. By default, a New System entry is added at the end of the table.

On the right, the same window as the [[Description of the Menu Project#Adding a System|New System window]] appears. The Smart Quotes user should select a system then fill in the required fields (refer to the [[Description of the Menu Project#Adding a System|Adding a System section]] in the Project Menu).

{{Note

== Delete ==

The '''Delete''' button allows the Smart Quotes user to delete a system or a subsystem. Upon clicking on this button, a pop up window appears asking the Smart Quotes user to confirm the deletion of the system or the subsystem. If the Smart Quotes user confirms, the system and/or the subsystem is deleted from the drawing pad and from the table to the left of the drawing pad.

{{Note
| If the Smart Quotes user selects a system that contains a subsystem, the subsystem is also deleted when deleting the system.
}}

{{Note
| With Windows XP, the drawing pad becomes blank for a very short period of time upon clicking on the '''Delete''' button.
}}

== Move ==

The '''Move''' button allows the Smart Quotes user to move the graphical representation of the systems or the subsystems in the drawing pad.
By default, the systems and the subsystems are located in the top left corner of the drawing pad. By clicking on the '''Move''' button, it becomes possible to move the items as desired in the drawing pad. The '''Move''' button becomes a '''Lock''' button. To save the current position of all the items of the drawing pad, the Smart Quotes user should click on the '''Lock''' button.

== Description of the Right-Click Menu Features ==

When right-clicking on the graphical representation of a system or a subsystem, a menu appears as shown in the following example:

[Screenshots of the options upon right-clicking (without the save as template option)]

The available options are as it follows:

* Add: to add a subsystem to the selected system. The list of subsystems available in the Add menu option are those defined by the administrator as compatible with the selected system. Some subsystems may be greyed out after they have been added to a system. This could be due to a limitation set by the administrator (i.e. the maximum quantity of subsystem that can be added to a system has been reached).
* Delete: to delete the selected system or subsystem
* Connect to: to connect systems to each other. Connected systems are represented on the drawing pad by a line between them. This type of connection differs from the one that a system may have with a subsystem as the individual configurations of the connected systems do not affect one another.
* Copy: to copy the selected system. To paste the copied system, the Smart Quotes user should right-click on a blank part of the drawing pad (i.e. anywhere except on a graphical representation of a system or of a subsystem) then click on the '''Paste''' option. The system is copied with the same name, parameters and settings defined for the original system. However, changes applied to the original system are not carried over to the copied system and vice versa.
