Quote Option

The Quote button allows a user to run an activity virtually to see the outcome of the activity without having to process it. When Quote is clicked, the Activity Details window will display and the user 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.

If an activity is not configured to support quoting, then the Quote button will not be visible. Security also determines whether the Quote button displays. Only users with security privileges to use quoting will see the Quote button.
