Create a new proposal
- There are numerous ways to access the page used to create a new quote:
You can go to the "Organisations" page and click the name of the organisation for whom you want to create a quote.
Once in the selected organisation's page, scroll down and click "Create" next to the "Quotes & Projects" section.
You can also go to the "Proposals" page and click "Create" at the top right corner.
Finally, you can go to the "Projects" page and click "Create" at the top right corner.
All three methods will send you to the page below. The only difference is that when you access it from the organisation's page, the "Organisation" and "Billing Organisation" fields are pre-filled. From here, fill out the form, mark the area or insert a marker on the map, and click "Save" once finished.

- Once all proposal items are in place, you can export a document on either pdf or docx format. Click "Documents" and select the template you need.
