View the Bid Board
Objective
To view your company's Bid Board in Procore.
Background
The Bid Board in Procore is where you can easily view and manage all bids that your company has been invited to, without needing to switch between different companies in Procore. You can view all bid details and documents, manage your intention to bid, and begin the takeoff and estimating process, all from the same tool.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions
- 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the company's Bid Board tool.
Note: Users with 'Read Only' and 'Standard' level permissions can only view projects that they are marked as an 'Estimator' for, unless they have the 'Can Access Projects for All Users' granular permission enabled on their permission template.
- 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the company's Bid Board tool.
