Highlighted in yellow, we can see the fields previously entered in Design Information.


14. The "Add-in" verifies that the values entered in "Customer" or "Designer Email" text boxes are valid email addresses. If not, an error message is displayed in the form of a tooltip next to the control.

16. If all fields were filled with valid values, the Add-in generates a unique Job ID.

You will receive an email with your Job ID and a link to the Caesarstone Portal to view your detailed quote.

Note: The export to Caesarstone Connect is only available to registered Connect users. If you’d like to become a registered user contact csconnect@caesarstoneus.com

Important Note:  If a colored grid (warning pattern) appears on your countertop, hover your mouse over the grid and check the error in the bottom right corner.  Any countertop sections with an error will not be included in the total square footage calculation.  An example of an error is ‘depth of section exceeds maximum depth of model chosen’.  In this instance, a cut is required for 2020 Design Live to calculate, once a cut is added you can validate the section and once all errors are removed it is ready to export.
