Properties The Property screen is where the full address of each property is entered. There is also a “portal” to enter and view an unlimited number of proposals that have been generated for each property over time.		Click thumbnail to enlarge image
Proposals The Proposal screen is where each bid is constructed. Depending on what job type is selected, boilerplate (standard) text can be brought in and customized for the property. This is also where the status can be recorded. A new proposal would be “pending” until it was “accepted” or “rejected”. If “accepted”, the dollar amount of the job can be recorded here. This layout can also hold a PDF of the outgoing proposal, or a PDF scan of the returned proposal signed by the customer.		Click thumbnail to enlarge image
Bid Components The BID COMPONENT layout is where the standard (boilerplate) text is entered for each job type. (There should only be one entry for each Job Type.)		Click thumbnail to enlarge image
Printed Proposal Once the Proposal is constructed, it can be viewed on a layout suitable for printing. The layout is set up with the assumption that it will be printed on company letterhead, but it can be customized to hold the company graphics so it can be printed on regular paper.
