The form
What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.
| Field | Type | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead time for every line (days) | Number | Sets this lead time on every priced line of the response. To give lines different lead times, change them under Priced lines; the response’s lead time is then the longest of them. | |
| Payment terms (days of credit) | Number | ||
| Valid for (days) | Number | ||
| Notes | Long text | ||
| Status | Choice | submitted, scored, shortlisted, rejected |
The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
