  • Add questions and responses for bidders.

  • Attach general information on the contract.

  • Attach the Ad for Bid.

  • Provide documents for winning contractors.

Messages can be added with a number of different access rights.

  • Authenticated: any user that is logged in.

  • Consultant: any user whose organization is set up as a consultant on the contract.

  • Contractor: the awarded contractor on the contract.

  • Plan Holder: a user/organization set up as a Plan Holder on the contract.

  • Public: any public user who views your OneOffice site if you have the contract set to “show on public dashboard”.

  2. Click on ‘Messages’ from the Contract Menu.
