How do I add and update packs?

Packs are collections of products that are grouped and sold together. You can add a pack to a quote or order as a single line item. You can also add all the individual items inside that pack as individual line items on the quote or order. To add and update packs to your catalogue, follow the instructions below.

  • Log in to the Onsight web console at https://sales.onsightapp.com/.
  • Click on ‘Manage your data’ from the left-hand side menu.
  • Click on the ‘Packs’ menu item.
  • You will see a list of all of your existing packs.
  • To add a new pack, click on ‘Add Pack’.
