# 3.2 Solicitation and Procurement Content

### **Solicitation & Procurement Content**

**Vendor/Client Gateway: Solicitation & Procurement Content**

For a Solicitation Record's details to be displayed on the **Vendor Client Gateway** or **Public Portal**, the Solicitation Record’s **Invitation Type** field must be set.

**Note:** If a Solicitation's Invitation Type is set to **Public** or **Invitation Only**, only the fields selected to be displayed will be shown. Please see the [**Solicitation & Procurement Fields**](https://wiki.cobblestonesoftware.com/docs/22-solicitation-and-procurement-fields) Wiki page for more information about selecting fields from the Solicitation Details screen to be displayed on the Gateway.

**Solicitation Details:** 1. Navigate to the **Solicitation Details** screen to manage the **Invitation Type** for the record. ![Within Solicitation Details Set the Invitation Type field to determine who can see the Solicitation](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/4(90).png) 2. The Invitation Types available are: ![Invitation Type Dropdown options](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/4a(4).png) **Not Published:** The Solicitation record will not be available on either the Vendor/Client Gateway or the Public portion of the Gateway (Internally Only). **Public:** The Solicitation will be available to be viewed on the Public portion of the Vendor/Client Gateway (non-authenticated Vendors/Clients will be allowed to view). **Invite Only:** The Solicitation will be available only to Vendors/Clients on the Gateway whom you have specified as potential respondents.

**Solicitation Files/Attachments:** For a Solicitation Record file/attachment to be viewable, select (when uploading the attachment) the **Collaboration Type** for the attachment: ![Setting the Collaboration type for File Attachments](https://cdn.document360.io/e3626857-1fb5-4e27-b278-2d3fc5508be4/Images/Documentation/4b(4).png)

**Note:** By specifying **Public** = Yes, the file/attachment displays only to the area in which the Solicitation Record is displayed (depending on the **Invitation Type** selected for the Solicitation Record).
