Exporting your Proposals results

Export your current Proposals view for deeper reporting and analysis!

Written by Pat Kuo

Export your current proposals view to a CSV file for deeper reporting and analysis. You can export one row per proposal, or one row per service to see the value of each service across your proposals.

How to export your Proposals view

Both exports use the filters currently applied to your view.

  1. Apply any filters you need.
    ​

  2. Click Export, then choose an export type:

    • Proposals - one row per proposal, including the proposal's total value.

    • Proposals by service - one row per service, so you can compare value by service or build revenue projections in a spreadsheet.
      ​

  3. Ignition emails the CSV file to you.

Note: To export all results, ensure you select the quick filter "ALL".

Please note: If you need to export Classic Proposals, please navigate to the Proposals tab → Export. If you do not know what Classic Proposals are, please ignore this message.

Data included in the Proposals by service export

The Proposals by service export includes one row for each service on a proposal. Each row also includes the proposal and client details from the Proposals export, so you can filter or pivot by client, status or partner.

This export is useful if you'd like to run revenue projections by service, or see which services make up most of your pipeline.

For example: to see how much upcoming work is worth for each service, filter your view to Awaiting Acceptance, then export Proposals by service. In the spreadsheet, create a pivot table that groups by Service Name and adds up Service Minimum Value. This gives you a total for each service across all your open proposals.

Field

Definition

Service Option

The proposal option the service belongs to. Proposals without options show the default option name (e.g. Option 1)

How the service is billed: Recurring, Once off or Deposit

Please note:

  • For proposals with options, only one option's services are included. Once a proposal is accepted, this is the option the client selected.

  • The proposal's total minimum value isn't included in this export. The Services column lists every service on the proposal and repeats on each row, so don't add it up. To see total proposal values, use the Proposals export.

  • You need permission to view proposals to use this export. Learn how to manage roles and permissions here.
