The Description tab provides a rich text editor for writing a detailed description of the proposal. This is typically used to describe the scope of the project, the approach, and any key technical details that should accompany the costing.

Using the Rich Text Editor

The editor supports a range of formatting options via the toolbar at the top of the editing area:

• Text Formatting — Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough
• Headings — Apply different heading levels to structure the document
• Lists — Numbered lists and bullet point lists
• Alignment — Left, Centre, Right, and Justify text alignment
• Links — Insert hyperlinks to external resources or documents
• Images — Insert images inline within the description
• Tables — Create tables for structured data
• Undo / Redo — Revert or reapply recent changes within the editor

Editing the Description

1. Navigate to the Description tab.
2. Click anywhere in the editing area to begin typing or editing.
3. Use the toolbar buttons to format your text as needed.
4. When you are finished, click Save in the toolbar to save your changes.

Tips

• The description is included in printed proposal reports. Use clear, professional language.
• You can paste content from other applications. The editor will clean up formatting on paste.
• The editing area provides ample vertical space (approximately 650 pixels), but will accommodate longer content with scrolling.
• If you navigate away from the Description tab with unsaved changes, you will be prompted to confirm.
