Task-focused guides for proposals, approvals, purchase proposals, your account, and administration.

Getting started: the order of things

What has to happen, in what order, and who does it — from the first company record to a signed PDF. Each step links to its detailed guide.

  1. 1 Create companies and departments
  2. 2 Invite the people
  3. 3 Accept the invite and set yourself up
  4. 4 Verify accounts and assign roles
  5. 5 Configure proposal templates and papers
  6. 6 Create a proposal
  7. 7 Review and approve
  8. 8 Spend against the approved budget
  9. 9 Find what was approved
  10. 10 Get the signed PDF
  11. 11 Keep up and tune the system

Each help address mirrors the application address where there is one: /proposals/create is explained at /help/proposals/create, /admin/users at /help/admin/users.

My Work guides

Dashboard screenshot Dashboard One screen that says where your attention belongs: metrics, approvals in motion, what waits for you, and recent activity. Proposals workspace screenshot Proposals workspace Every proposal paper you can see, in lanes: Requested, For Approval, Returned, Approved, and the rest. New proposal screenshot New proposal The four-step wizard: Info, Forms, Template, Review. It keeps a draft as you type and the address bar keeps your place. Proposal overview screenshot Proposal overview One page per proposal: its papers in order, its budget, the purchase proposals (PR → PO) drawn against it, and the ledger of movements. The paper page screenshot The paper page The complete record of one paper: the rendered document, its versions, annotations and chat, the signatory chain, and the audit trail. Approving and returning screenshot Approving and returning What an approver does with a paper that reached them: read, annotate, then Approve, request a revision, or Reject. Purchase Proposal screenshot Purchase Proposal The procurement papers raised against an approved proposal budget: Purchase Requests ask, Purchase Orders commit, the Request for Payment compiles itself. Archive screenshot Archive Every approved — and so signed — paper you may open, in one place: a tree by module, folders, or a table, grouped by module, company or year. Generation queue screenshot Generation queue Document renders, PDF regenerations and RFP compiles run in the background; this page shows them and lets you retry or stop one. Notifications screenshot Notifications Every workflow event that concerns you — assignments, returns, approvals, reminders, cancellations — kept beyond the popup.
