To search in a Bid Board report template 

There are three items that you can search for using the “Find in view” box

1. Client Name
2. Job Name
3. Job Location

Enter in any of the items above into the “Find in view” box. 

To create a custom report from a Bid Board template

Please note that report templates cannot be directly modified. However, a copy of the report template can be made and filters can be applied to the copy to create a custom report that meets your needs.

There are two ways to create a custom report from a template:

1. Click on the “Create from template" button at the top right or the icon on the left panel. 
   
   
   
   
2. Use the drop-down menu and select “Copy”.
   
   

The copy will be created automatically and you will see it listed under “My Reports.” Additionally, the names of all copied reports start with “Copy of” for ease.



Review the Reports section for instructions on how to filter, copy, and do more with your new report.

To export Bid Board report templates

Start by navigating to the report template that you’d like to export. Click on the drop-down menu located at the top right side of the page and click "Export". 



The download will automatically start. Once the report is downloaded onto your computer, you can send the downloaded file to colleagues or team members as an attachment in an email.
