Page Comparison

This page The RFP tab focuses on offers from the governors/donors. They can post an offer on a specific solution with the possibility of applying for it. It’s connected to organizations only. RFP differs from the other tabs; we need to think about a new way of organizing the Catalog (example:  Catalog = SDGs, Use Case, Workflow, BB, Product, Open Data; Marketplace = Organizations, Projects, RFPs). The flow should be more intuitive and help users find what they need easily.

RFP View page - External Opportunities

Note: The external projects should also have their own page (we should indicate that the offer is external by, eg. having basic sections).

Create RFP - work in progress

Since the marketplace tab will have a slightly different approach and purpose than the Catalog, we can approach the creation process differently. We need to prepare a different way of creating those pages, examples: 

• Few steps creation

• One pager

• Once the user clicks “create new,” he can be redirected to the empty view page with the required fields to edit. We can indicate the creation process by adding a progress bar. 
  

to have a clear overview of the data displayed. There are two types of RPPs:
-External Opportunities: Those opportunities will be generated through the backend and contain basic information about the opportunity and the “apply now” button that will redirect the user to the external page.
-Internal Opportunities: created from the marketplace. Internal opportunities will have their own page on the platform containing more editable sections. From the list page, the user can view more details (the “View more” button that will redirect to the marketplace RFP page) or go to an external page by selecting the “Apply now” button.

The user can expand the list of items on the main RFP page to view more details by clicking on the list item:

   The progress bar indicates the level of filled-in sections. Once the user enters the page and completes the modal, the progress bar will indicate sections that need filling in.

   The admin can toggle the modal by selecting the arrow to hide/show more information.
