Quote Option

The Quote button allows you to execute an activity virtually so that you can see the outcome of the activity without having to process it.  When Quote is clicked, the Activity Details window will display and you can click the links at the top of the screen to see the results of each aspect of the activity before it is actually processed.

 

The Rules Palette is used to specify whether an activity will have the quote option.  If an activity is not configured to support quoting, then the Quote button will not be visible.
