It can be challenging to manage the numerous RFPs for a campaign - Did you send them all out? Has the vendor looked at it? What proposals have been sent back?
The RFP tab helps you to keep track of the moving pieces by listing out all of the RFPs you have set up, and provides you with summary information, filtering and search capabilities. Validate which RFPs have recipients and requirements. Manage which RFPs have been sent. Even track which RFPs have been viewed by the vendor and whether proposals have been sent back.
You can also create new RFPs from this tab.

Search

The search will automatically filter the RFPs that match
Filter
When managing a lot of RFPs, filtering can be a helpful tool to limit your view based on status. For instance, if you just want to see RFPs that have been responded to, you can change the Seller Status filter. Or if you have a combination of RFPs that are still open, and others you have closed, you may just want to look at Open RFPs.
Choose the filter options you want for each status and press Apply. Your view will automatically update.
