View the Calendar page for pre-assignments and training before you add a bid

This topic reviews the Calendar screen and its functions, prior to making bids.

We estimate that this will take 5 minutes to complete.

Detailed Explanation

The Calendar tab allows you to see what is currently on the schedule, if any items are pre-assigned, such as vacation or training, it will appear on this screen. If it is after a schedule is awarded, then you will be able to see what your schedule is. In this training demonstration, we view the calendar BEFORE any bids have been awarded.
