RECORD TABS

Scoring Tab - This tab works as most Scoring Tabs do but in Bid Packages you have an additional option to include Scoring questions in Online Bidding records. Create questions as usual in the Scoring tab in the Bid Package record and place a check in the Include in Bid field for lines that you want Online Bidders to answer as part of their bid.
 
In addition to standard record tabs, Bid Package records include several special ones: Bid Items Tab, Clauses Tab, and Manage Bids Tab.
