Every tender you download from [Tender download](https://help.stralos.app/guides/estimators/tender-submission.md#tender-download) uses it: the PDF and Word files follow the whole layout, and the Excel file follows its block order, colours, and logo. Your company has one layout. Until an admin saves one, tenders use the standard layout. Any member can view the layout and preview it. Only admins can change it; others see **Only an admin can change the tender layout.** The page has the settings on the left and a live preview on the right. The top of the page says whether your tenders use your saved layout, with when and by whom it was last saved, or the standard layout. ## Page | Field | Options | | - | - | | **Paper size** | A4, A3 | | **Orientation** | Portrait, Landscape | | **Margins** | Narrow, Normal, Wide | The standard layout is A4, portrait, with normal margins. ## Look * **Heading font**: Sora or Inter. The body text is Inter. * **Table headings**: **Light** has pale header rows with each section's name above its table. **Dark bands** has dark section bands and bold headings. The standard layout uses **Light**. * **Accent colour**: the colour for headings and highlights. Leave it on **Brand colour** to use your colour from [Company branding](https://help.stralos.app/guides/admins/organisation-settings.md#company-branding), or pick a colour for tenders only. * **Your logo**: **Left**, **Right**, or **Hidden**. * **Client's logo**: **Shown** or **Hidden**. ## Blocks Blocks are the parts of the tender, printed top to bottom in the order listed. Drag a block, or use its up and down arrows, to change the order. The cover is always first. Use a block's switch to show or hide it, and remove a block you don't need. Select **Settings** on a block to change its options in a side panel. Changes show in the preview straight away, and are kept when you save the page. | Block | Options | | - | - | | **Cover** | The small label at the top right of the cover, printed in capitals. Leave it blank for **TENDER SUBMISSION**. | | **Client and company details** | **Details to show**: Client, Client contact, Site, Quote number, Reference, Prepared by (your business), and Date. Choose at least one. **Client details** and **Company details** pick a set for you. | | **Project scope** | Heading. | | **Summary** | Heading; **Show the total card**; **Show the "% of total" column**. | | **Schedule of prices** | Heading; **Columns** (Item number, Quantity, Unit, Rate, Amount; the description is always shown); **Show section subtotals**; **Show the totals at the end**. Spreadsheets keep every column, so their formulas work. | | **Documents received** | Heading; **Show the folder column**. | | **Departures and clarifications** | Heading; **Show which items each one applies to**. | | **Price notes** | Heading. | | **Validity and acceptance** | Heading; **Show signature lines (Accepted by, Name, Signature, Date)**. | | **Terms and conditions** | Heading. | | **Text** | Your own text, for example a cover letter, with headings, lists, bold, italic, and underline. Fields such as `{client}` are filled in when the tender is drawn. | | **Page break** | Starts a new page. | A heading can be up to 80 characters. Leave it blank to use the block's standard heading, which is the block's name except **Notes** for price notes and **Price summary** for the summary (**Summary** with **Dark bands** table headings). **Client and company details**, **Text**, and **Page break** have no standard heading. Use **Add a block** to add a block that isn't in the layout, or another text block, page break, or **Client and company details** block. A layout can have up to 40 blocks, including up to 20 text blocks, and each text block can hold up to 20,000 characters. The fields you can use in a text block are `{project}`, `{client}`, `{client contact}`, `{company}`, `{quote number}`, `{revision}`, `{date}`, `{valid until}`, `{tender price excl GST}`, and `{tender price incl GST}`. Type them, or add one from the list under the text. The standard layout prints every block except text, in the order above, with a page break before **Schedule of prices** and another before **Documents received**. ## Footer * **Footer text**: one line in the middle of the footer, up to 120 characters, for example your company's motto or licence number. * **Page numbers**: shows **Page 2 of 9** on the right. * The **Priced in Stralos** line, with stralos.app, is always shown on the left and can't be removed. ## Preview The preview is a real tender PDF drawn with your unsaved layout, using your company's name, logo, and colours. It starts with a built-in sample tender. To see one of your own tenders instead, use **Preview with**: type to search your tenders, then pick one. Your own tenders are drawn as they would download now, and a long schedule shows its first 150 items. Pick **Sample tender** to go back to the sample. Turn on **Without prices** to preview without rates and totals. Select **Update preview** to draw it again. While something is marked in red, fix it first to update the preview. ## Save or go back to the standard layout Select **Save changes** to save the whole layout, or **Discard** to go back to the last saved layout. If another admin saved the layout while you were editing, your save is refused. Select **Reload the layout** to load their version, then make your changes again. Once a layout is saved, **Use the standard layout** returns your tenders to the standard Stralos layout after you confirm. Your layout is put aside, and the top of the page says when and by whom. To undo it, select **Bring back my last layout**. Your tenders use the layout that was put aside, exactly as it was saved. If you have unsaved changes, you're asked to confirm first, because they'll be lost. A tender submitted before you change the layout keeps the files it was submitted with.
