                                                                                1. Proposal Terms These terms will be copied to new projects and can be edited at the project level. These terms will appear on the proposal.
                                                                                2. Thumbnails Click Yes if you want the thumbnail images to appear by default when you create a proposal. When you preview a proposal, you will have the option to show or hide images.
                                                                                3. Default Proposal Name

                                                                                Some firms will call this document one of the following: Estimate, Budget, or Budget Estimate. Within DesignSmart this document is referred to as a proposal, but the document itself will have whatever name you give it.

                                                                                4. Item Statuses
