For Proposal writers (in the responding side of the system), you have the ability for your customized proposal template to inherit particular contents of your project when exporting your proposal. These will only take in the peripheral places outside of the Proposal Outline [[...Body...]] contents. Preparer information, POC, Proposal Details and Created Date will automatically take in areas in which you designate in your Proposal Template.
*Note that these Proposal [Template] Placeholder text options are different from Response Placeholder text that is available while using knowledge library responses in your Proposal.
*Note Placeholders will not be honored if your Proposal Name contains special characters (For example, & versus and). They also are not supported in the header or footer of the template*
