7. To request a work order estimate from a vendor go to the Work Order Estimates section and click on Request Estimate. Complete the fields in that pop-up
   • On the new popup screen, select the Vendor
   • Select the date for Submission Deadline (optional)
   • Enter the Message
   • Click the Save button. 
   • This will save the request and email the vendor letting them know that you are requesting an estimate for this work order.  The work order estimate section is designed to be used more as a system to send out estimate requests to multiple vendors before the work order is actually assigned to a vendor. So it is not designed to send out the attachment of the work order. The body of the email contains some basic information (description) of the work order but not all the details (Tenant contact info) that the work order attachment contains. Its main purpose is to get estimates for the work before its performed. Once all the estimates come in the PM can then award the work to a vendor.
