Proposals management

Understand the basics

It’s important to understand that Proposals is not only the name of the component, but is also the entities of the component.

Configuración

Once you created your Proposals component, you are redirected to the Proposals list. There, you can create and manage the proposals of your component.

Depending on whether you want to gather only participants proposals, or you also want to create official proposals, read the relevant section.

Proposals creation

Propuestas oficiales

To start creating official proposals, the first thing to do is to create your first proposal, by clicking the "New proposal" button.

When they click the button, they are redirected on a two step form, enabling them to create their proposal. This form depends a lot on which settings you’ve enabled in the component.
