Background/Overview
A template within proposals is a way to save typed information or attachments into your workspace that can be referenced in the future for other bid package RFPs. This will reduce the time needed to type repetitive information/ double entry. All workspace types have access to these templates. The template can be used on any project's bid package across your company's workspace.
