You can locate proposals with the filter and the search tabs. Using these tabs saves time when having to locate specific proposals. Each method provides an accurate and quick approach to finding any proposal.

The filter options allow you to select from a variety of criteria to pinpoint and then find proposals that fit into those selections. For example, you can select the location ID, provider, and amount filters, and proposals will appear on the list view based on the criteria. You can also locate proposals by saving your filter selections for future use. Saved filters can be edited and deleted at any time. 

The search options allow you to find a specific proposal by using at least one of the search choices. You can also search for proposals by using the ALP. At any given time, you can revert back to Legacy View for proposals
