# Manage the RFQ dashboard

> Track active and archived enquiries, use statuses and priorities consistently, and keep deadlines visible.

The RFQ dashboard is the main list of enquiries in the active workspace.

Use it to decide what needs attention, open an RFQ workspace, and keep completed work out of the active queue without losing its record.

## Understand the columns

The dashboard can show information such as:

* RFQ number;
* customer company and requester;
* project or package name;
* priority;
* status;
* file count;
* submission deadline.

Use search, sorting, and view controls to narrow a busy list.

## Use statuses consistently

Kwantflow supports these RFQ statuses:

| Status     | Suggested meaning                                                            |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Draft      | The enquiry record is being prepared and is not ready for active estimating. |
| Open       | The enquiry is accepted into the active queue.                               |
| Estimating | Scope review or pricing is underway.                                         |
| Quoted     | A quote has been prepared or issued.                                         |
| Won        | The customer accepted the work.                                              |
| Lost       | The opportunity will not proceed with your business.                         |
| Archived   | The RFQ is removed from the active view but retained for reference.          |

The labels are shared by the product, but your team should agree on when each transition happens.

## Set priority

Priority can be Low, Medium, High, or Critical.

Use priority for business urgency, not as a replacement for the deadline. A high-value opportunity due next month and a small quote due today may need different kinds of attention.

## Review deadlines

Record the submission deadline supplied by the customer. If the date changes, update the RFQ and review whether the estimating plan or lead time must also change.

## Active, archived, and all views

* **Active** keeps current work visible.
* **Archived** contains RFQs removed from the active queue.
* **All** helps search across both.

Archive completed, cancelled, or dormant work when it no longer belongs in the daily queue. Restore an archived RFQ if work resumes.

## Reorder and bulk actions

Active RFQs can be manually reordered when the list is not currently sorted by a column.

Use bulk actions carefully for archive, restore, or delete operations. Review the selected rows before confirming because one action can affect several RFQs.

## A practical daily review

At the start of the day:

1. Review critical and high-priority RFQs.
2. Check deadlines due soon.
3. Move active work into **Estimating** when review begins.
4. Open RFQs waiting for files or clarification and update their notes.
5. Archive work that no longer needs to remain active.
