You are able to see the exact status of each easily. Below you can see an example of a typical bid. These are the main statuses: - Sent- the bid has been sent, the contractor has received an email notifying them of the bid, we suggest that you contact them if they haven't viewed the bid within a few days. - Viewed- the contractor has entered the system and viewed the bid. - Approved- the contractor has seen the bid and pressed the button meaning they **are** intending to send a proposal later on (this can also be done manually by the user). - Rejected- the contractor has seen the bid and pressed the button meaning they **are not** intending to send a proposal (this can also be done manually by the user). - Sum of money- the contractor has sent a proposal (this will not be shown if the bid is set as 'closed envelope'). ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/d1372b3c-ad67-4cb2-bc65-e176adb150de/Images/Documentation/image-CO01KBPS.png) --- You are able to see which contractor has viewed which documents from the bid.
