# Display Options

> Control what pricing detail buyers see on proposals: line items, totals, grouping, PDF layout, and portal customization.

# Display Options

Display Options give reps granular control over how much pricing detail the buyer sees on a proposal. You access them from the **Display Options** button at the top of any quote, next to the Request Approval button.

Every toggle affects both the [Web Portal](/get-started/calculator/web-portal) view and generated PDF documents unless noted otherwise. This lets you tailor the level of transparency to the audience -- full detail for procurement, totals-only for executive sponsors.

## Quote Lines

These toggles control what's visible on individual line items in the pricing table.

| Toggle                        | Default | What it controls                                                                                                                                                                          |
| ----------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Show Quantity**             | On      | Display the quantity for each line item (e.g., "50"). When off, the buyer sees the price but not the unit count.                                                                          |
| **Show Quantity Labels**      | On      | Display the unit of measure label alongside the quantity (e.g., "50 Users" vs. just "50"). Requires Show Quantity to be on.                                                               |
| **Show List Prices**          | Off     | Display the pre-discount list price for each line. When off, the buyer only sees the final price. Useful for hiding the "anchor" price when you don't want to reveal the discount spread. |
| **Show Discount Percentages** | Off     | Display the discount percentage applied to each line. When off, the buyer sees the net price without knowing the explicit discount.                                                       |
| **Group Sublines Together**   | Off     | When a product has multiple pricing components (e.g., a base fee plus a per-seat charge), this groups them into a single visual line. When off, each component is displayed separately.   |

<Tip>
  For most deals, leaving **Show List Prices** and **Show Discount Percentages** off gives you a cleaner proposal. The buyer sees the final price without the negotiation mechanics. Turn them on when the buyer's procurement team specifically requires full pricing transparency.
</Tip>

## Grouping

| Toggle                                    | Default | What it controls                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Split out Recurring and One-Time Fees** | Off     | When on, recurring products (licenses, subscriptions) and one-time products (implementation, setup) are displayed in separate tables. When off, all line items appear in a single table. |

Splitting fees is useful for deals with significant one-time components. It makes the recurring commitment (the ARR) visually distinct from the upfront costs, which helps buyers and their finance teams evaluate the deal structure.

## Total Formatting

These toggles control what summary information appears below the pricing table.

| Toggle                        | Default | What it controls                                                                                                                                               |
| ----------------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Show Shared Inputs**        | On      | Display the shared inputs used in pricing calculations (e.g., the quantity value that drives multiple line items). When off, only the output prices are shown. |
| **Show Total Contract Value** | On      | Display the TCV as a summary line. When off, TCV is hidden from the buyer.                                                                                     |
| **Only show final total**     | Off     | Hide all line-item pricing and display only the bottom-line total for the deal. No individual product prices, quantities, or discounts are visible.            |

<Warning>
  **Only show final total** is the most aggressive display option. It hides all line-item detail and shows a single number. Use this only for executive-level proposals where per-line detail would be noise, or for deals where you explicitly don't want the buyer breaking down the pricing by product.
</Warning>

## PDF Options

These settings apply only to generated PDF documents, not the Web Portal.

| Toggle                     | Default | What it controls                                                                                                                      |
| -------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Page Break Each Option** | Off     | When on, each [Pricing Option](/get-started/calculator/options) starts on a new page in the PDF. When off, options flow continuously. |

Enable this for proposals with multiple options that are each substantial enough to warrant their own page. For simpler multi-option proposals, keeping options on a continuous flow is usually cleaner.

***

## Portal Options

These settings apply only to the [Web Portal](/get-started/calculator/web-portal), not generated PDFs.

| Setting                      | What it controls                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Disable Background Image** | Turns off the default background image set by your admin. The portal renders with a clean, unadorned header.                                                                                                               |
| **Custom Background Image**  | Upload a background image specific to this proposal (overrides the admin default). Use this to personalize the portal for a specific buyer -- for example, uploading an image related to the customer's industry or brand. |

<Tip>
  Custom backgrounds are a small touch that can make a big impression. For strategic deals, uploading a customer-relevant image signals that the proposal was built specifically for them, not generated from a template.
</Tip>

## Custom Columns

Custom Columns let you surface additional pricing data points on the line item table that aren't shown by default.

| Toggle           | Default | What it controls                                                                                                                        |
| ---------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **List Rate**    | Off     | Display the per-unit list rate for each line item (before discounts). Distinct from Show List Prices, which shows the total list price. |
| **Offered Rate** | Off     | Display the per-unit offered rate (after discounts). Shows the buyer exactly what they're paying per unit.                              |

These columns are especially useful for per-seat or per-unit products where the buyer cares about the unit economics, not just the total. Turning on **Offered Rate** while leaving **Show Discount Percentages** off lets you communicate the per-unit price without revealing the discount mechanics.

<Info>
  Additional custom columns beyond List Rate and Offered Rate can be configured by admins. If you've added custom fields to the Quote Line through the [Object Explorer](/get-started/pricing-and-packaging/product), they may be available as toggleable columns here.
</Info>

* Show Quantity Labels: **On**
* Show List Prices: **Off**
* Show Discount Percentages: **Off**
* Show Total Contract Value: **On**

The buyer sees products, quantities, and net prices. No discount mechanics visible. This is the default for most deals.

### Procurement-ready proposal (full transparency)

* Show Quantity: **On**
* Show Quantity Labels: **On**
* Show List Prices: **On**
* Show Discount Percentages: **On**
* List Rate: **On**
* Offered Rate: **On**
