Explanation functionality

Note: the example below consists of two parts.

• The top part is where the user controls recipients addresses.
• The bottom part, the Quote Mail Form, is the actual message that will be sent to the recipients.

Note: the example below is template based and can be customized on request. When interested, use bugTracking to sent a request for customization of this template to Cargo Office programmers.

1. The Quote Mail Form form is sent to all email addresses which are added here.
   
   • By default, the requester email address is shown, as well as the email address of the logged in user.
   • The sender of the Quote Mail Form is free to add other addresses.
     Note: all email addresses have to be comma separated.
   • After sending this Quote Mail Form, user comes back into the quotation grid (backOffice).
     Status of the sent quotation order then is: RFQquote.
2. The Quote Mail Form consists basically the same values as the Quote Request Details. Differences are:
   
   • There are no order statuses visible.
   • A message "How to proceed" is shown. This message of course is meant for the recipient; it's a further procedure when receiving a quote.
3. A quote expiration date is shown. This date is controlled by carrier staff ( see: #5).
