Once BidBot has extracted your questions, the question table is where you prepare them for drafting — deciding what information to display, filling in word limits and weightings, assigning people, and tracking progress.

Most changes here can be made either to one question at a time, or to many questions at once using bulk edit. Bulk edit is much faster on a large tender pack.

Where to find it

Open your project and go to the Questions tab.

Choose which columns to show

Click Columns above the question table.
Select the columns you want to display.

Status	The current status of the question.
Question	The question itself.
Weighting	The weighting the question carries in the tender, either extracted automatically or entered by you.
Word Limit	The word or character limit for the question, either extracted automatically or entered by you.
Assignees	The colleagues assigned as editors on the question.
Reviewers	The colleagues assigned as reviewers on the question.
Presence	The colleagues currently working in the Answer Workspace editor for that question.

Word limits and weightings

Where they appear in the tender documents, word counts and scoring weightings are extracted automatically and shown beneath the question within its row.

Anything the tender did not state clearly can be added by hand.

Add values to several questions at once

Select the questions you want to update.
Click Bulk Edit.
Enter the weighting and word count values.
Save your changes.

Assign editors and reviewers

Two roles can be assigned to each question.

Assignees	Have editor rights in the Answer Workspace — they write the answer.
Reviewers	Evaluate and approve answers in the Answer Workspace.

The people available here come from the project team, so configure that team first. See Project Dashboard.

Assign one question

Set the assignee and reviewer directly in the question's own row in the table.

Assign several questions at once

Select the questions you want to assign.
Click Bulk Edit.
