Finding and Filtering Responses

Use the summary panels to quickly filter the list of responses by user or status.

RFP Responses Details page overview

Viewing Responses for a Specific User

Under Responsible Users, click your name. The list will filter to show only the responses assigned to you.

Viewing Responses by Status

Under Questions Status Summary, click the status you want to filter by (e.g., Ready for Review). The list will update to show only responses with that status.

Related Sheets

If the uploaded RFP contains multiple sheets, the Related Sheets panel lists them. Click a sheet name to navigate directly to its responses and review them independently.

Assigning a User to Review a Response

Assigning a user makes it easy to ensure the right person reviews a response. This also enables the notification functionality for responses in the Ready for Review status.

To change the user assigned to a response, click the user drop-down on the response and select the user you want to assign.

Click the Notify Users button on the RFP Responses Details page. A confirmation message will display before the notification is sent.

Reviewing and Updating a Response

Click the chevron on any response row to expand it and reveal the question, the generated answer, and the action buttons. Each expanded response has two tabs:

Draft Response

An editable area where the SME can write or refine the final answer. Changes made here do not affect the original generated response.

Generated Response

The original AI-generated answer. The SME can switch back to this tab at any time to review the original while updating the draft.

Use the following actions to refine, approve, or share a response.

Approving a Response

When you are happy with the response, click Approve. The status changes to Review Completed and editing is disabled.

Regenerating a Response

If a response isn't quite right, click Regenerate to generate a new version using the same brand voice settings.

Refine & Adjust Settings

Response Metadata

The following information is displayed below each expanded response.

  • Modified By — the name of the user who last edited the response.
  • Approved By — the name of the user who approved the response.
  • Source Documents — the content library files used to generate the response, including the document name and date.
