Boilerplates Hub
Boilerplates are blocks of text that can be used repeatedly in proposals and other documents. Boilerplates are useful for describing project approach or firm history. Use the Boilerplates hub to create, format, and save these blocks of text for reuse by other team members.
Because boilerplate information can be shared, your team can quickly access project approach information, graphics files, firm profiles, and narrative text that can be applied repeatedly to proposals. For example, you might have a firm history, with both standard text and formatting, that you always include in a proposal. Boilerplates ensure a consistent message and format across your firm.
Text that you create in a boilerplate is saved in Rich Text Format (RTF). This enables you to copy and paste text from any standard Windows application into Vantagepoint text fields. Some Windows programs and web pages have unique formatting and graphics options that Vantagepoint may not support. In these situations, you may have to reformat text that you copy and paste from other systems.
