      Proposal Search

      The Proposal Search in Altura is a useful tool to quickly and efficiently search for specific proposals within your collection of proposals. In this article, we explain how to make the most of this tool.

      1. Searching for Proposals

      • Type a keyword or specific term into the search bar, such as the topic you’re looking for proposals on.
      • Click Search to view the results.

      The Proposal Search performs a semantic search, meaning it doesn’t just look for exact words but also for similar words and phrases related to your query. This ensures you always find relevant proposals.

      2. Applying Filters

      Below the search bar, you’ll find various filters to refine your search further:

      1. Award Criteria
        Filter proposals based on specific award criteria.

      2. Contracting Authority
        Select specific organizations for which the proposals were written.

      3. Registration Deadline
        Filter proposals by their submission deadline.
        For example, select "Within the last 2 weeks" to find recently submitted proposals.

      4. Custom Field Filter
        Add customized filters unique to your organization or workflow. These can be set up via the Custom Field settings.
        This is useful for specific needs or internal processes.

      3. Sorting Results
      Use the sorting options to adjust your results by:

      • Registration Deadline: Proposals with the soonest deadlines appear at the top.
      • Publication Date: Displays the most recently published proposals first.

      Adjust the number of results using the dropdown in the top right corner (e.g., 5, 10, or 25 results). Note that selecting more results may slightly increase search time.
