Workspace / Sub-Accounts

We are very excited to introduce new feature called Workspace (sub-accounts). Workspaces in Fresh Proposals enable you to separate your proposals, templates, clients, library information from other business units or companies. What is even amazing, you can have distinct custom domain, email whitelisting for each of the workspaces.

As the main workspace admin, you can create workspaces and switch workspaces either from the top level menu as shown below

Add Workspace from Top Menu in Fresh Proposals Software

In certain cases, you may want to change the width of the fees table in your proposal/template. With the option to increase/decrease width of the fees table along with option to choose fees type and show/hide sub-total column you will be able to present fees table in a different form.

As you will click on the Fees table header/footer, you will see Table Properties in the right side panel, click on the the Table Style Tab on the right and then Header Option. You will see Width field as highlighted below. Use up-down arrow to change the size of the table.

Bug Fixes

We fixed quite a few bugs, enlisting few of those especially if you have reported those to us.

Client First Name, Client Last Name Variable Viewed Second Time
As we are refining proposal analytics for returning visitors, this issue cropped up. Though client would have seen the proposal normally when the checked it for the first time, upon returning or viewing the proposal again, these variables would be displayed as blank, it has been fixed already.
Video Link in the PDF
You can add video in your proposal document and it works well when client views it online. However when the proposal is downloaded as a PDF File, it has challenges in terms of playing the video. We have added a link to the video in the PDF file.
Accept/Reject Buttons in Landscape Proposal
There was a layout issue with the Accept/Reject buttons displayed for client in the Landscape oriented proposals. Also turning-off the option to display Accept/Reject buttons (basically hide) wasn’t working correctly in Landscape mode These have been fixed.
Client Name Seen Improper in Proposal Analytics Dropdown – fixed
Proposal with multiple client-contacts and if few names are lengthy, the dropdown would not display names properly, it is fixed now.
Signature Label Alignment When RTL Option is Enabled – fixed
The signature label text was shown overlapping when RTL option is enabled. It is fixed now.
Language Translation Update – fixed
There were certain labels, pop-up messages which remained untranslated. Translation for those labels have been updated.
Preview Client Contact Details
To know details of a client or its contact in the clients listing page, you don’t have to click on the edit option. You can click on the ‘eye’ icon and view its details.
Snippet Icon + Repeater Mode
We have updated the icon for Snippet to make it more relevant. Also Snippet feature is available in Repeater mode excluding Fees table, Content Table, Video objects.
Proposal Creation Wizard: Client List UI Issue – fixed
For higher resolutions (1600px, 1680px,1920px and more), proposal creation wizard would display client listing box way smaller. It has been fixed.
Email Signature Not Save Issue – fixed
Changes to email signature in Account > Settings > Email Signature was not getting saved, it was referring to signature cached in the browser memory while sending email. This has been fixed.
