The General Page has a clear structure:

- Cycle: Displays the cycle of the current proposal  (auto-populated).
- Science Category: A drop-down to select the relevant science category. Available options are:
  
   * Cosmology
   * Cradle of Life
   * Epoch of Re-ionization
   * Extra Galactic continuum
   * Extra Galactic Spectral line
   * Gravitational Waves
   * High Energy Cosmic Particles
   * HI Galaxy science
   * Magnetism
   * Our Galaxy
   * Pulsars
   * Solar, Heliospheric and Ionospheric Physics
   * Transients
   * VLBI
- Abstract area: A text box for the proposal abstract (maximum of 250 words). Exceeding the word limit flags an error and blocks saving the proposal. This field accepts latex syntax, which can be previewed by clicking the |icoview| icon next to the abstract field.
