To update an RFP
If, after sending an RFP to a location, you need to make changes or send additional attachments, follow these steps:
- Do one of the following:
- If you need to change information for all locations, update those details in the General or Details tabs of the Meeting, and Save. Click the RFPs tab.
- If you need to change information for only specific locations, click the RFPs tab of the Meeting, and then click the RFP ID number. Make necessary edits, and click Save and Close to return to the RFPs tab.
- Select the RFPs that have updates, and click the Send button. Wait patiently for the Send RFPs window to open.
- Add attachments or comments, and then click the Send button. The Status changes to Updated. The location receives an Updated RFP email message from MeetingBroker with an RFP Comparison page that shows them exactly what was changed, so you don't need to type that in your comments or send a separate message.
