Enabling and Configuring the Margin Slider
- Go to Configuration > Account Settings > Products & Pricing
- Click on Edit under Profit Settings.
- Scroll down until you see Margin slider.
- To enable the slider, click on the toggle so it moves to the right and turns green.
- To disable the slider, click on the toggle so it moves to the left and turns grey.
- When the margin slider is enabled, set the minimum margin that the slider can be set at on a quote. This means that you and your team cannot adjust the slider in a report lower than this percentage.
👍 PRO TIP
- Margin = Profit as a percentage of overall revenue
Example: 35% of our revenues were profit. - Markup = Percentage profit increase over the cost of goods/services sold
Example: We added 35% to our total costs to give us our profit.
