To create your Proposal Package go to Bidding>Proposal. The default template from Administration will appear automatically. However, the Proposal Package can be edited at the project level (with the exception of the Cover Sheet, which is set by an Administrator.)
Take the on screen Tour to learn about customizing your Proposal Package.
If your company already set a default Proposal Package in Administration, you may only need to review for accuracy and send your proposal. If you do wish to customize, it is easy to add or remove pages, reports, upload files and edit the Personal Letter as shown below.
AddRedTeam GO Reports & Import Files
Add RedTeam Go documents to the Proposal Package at Insert>Reports and selecting the reports you prefer to use. You can drag and drop the page thumbnails to resort the order they will appear in the proposal.
You can also upload your own documents to insert in the proposal package via Insert>Files and selecting a PDF file from your computer. (PDF files with multiple pages are accepted). Insert a Blank Page between sections if needed.
To remove a report from the field, check the box in the lower left corner>Delete Pages.
