What is a cellmap?

A cellmap is the structural map from tender spreadsheet cells (and related form regions) to requirement semantics used by scan/fill. Without a sound cellmap, Excel fill writes to the wrong places.

​
Why it matters

Medical tenders often use multi-sheet Excel response forms. Orbid’s run_fill_excel depends on knowing which cells are bidder response vs instructions vs commercial schedules.

​
Everyday

After scan, you do not “draw” a cellmap manually in docs terms—you ensure the tender was scanned and that fill runs only after match.

Professional notes

  • Multi-sheet forms — Confirm the response sheet was identified
  • Merged cells / labels — Expect residuals where structure is ambiguous
  • Re-upload — Re-scan; do not reuse stale maps
