Your Calendar: Pre-Assignments & Training
In this topic, you'll learn how to view your calendar for pre-assignments and training prior to making bids.
We estimate that this will take 5 minutes to complete.
Detailed Explanation
The Calendar tab displays the current schedule. Pre-assigned items, such as vacation or training, will appear here. After a schedule is awarded, your personal schedule will be visible. In this training, we'll view the calendar before any bids have been awarded.
Click the Calendar menu button.
Today's date displays at the top left of the screen.
Your last submitted bid is displayed here, complete with the date-time stamp and its unique confirmation number.
This is your pre-assigned credit value.
