1 Introduction
Using the bid group icons to manage a bid group
In this topic, you learn how to copy, delete and change the order of bid preferences to manage your bid group.
We estimate that this will take 5 minutes to complete.
2 Detailed Explanation
First, let's copy and paste a bid preference.
Click
the Line 6 row.
These are the icons you'll use in this topic. These are maroon when available, and gray when inactive.
HINT
The tool bar buttons for managing a bid group activate when you make a bid group or bid preference selection in the table.
Click
the Copy image.
Click
the Paste image.
You've added a copy of the row 6 bid preference. You could edit this now, but let's delete it instead.
Click
the Delete image.
Move line 6 down in the table. Remember, this impacts the order in which the preference is considered by the system.
Click
the Line 6 row.
Click
the Down image.
And now, move line 4 upwards in the bid group.
Click Line
4.
Click
the Up image.
It's common to want a bid group similar to a bid group that you already have. If that is the case, rather than building the whole bid group again from the beginning, you can copy and paste the group and then edit it to suit. Let's copy and paste our bid group now.
Click
the Line 1 row.
Click
the Copy image.
Click
the Paste image.
Let's assume the only change you need to this bid group is on line 12.
Click Line
12.
Click
the Edit image.
Click
the Avoid Pairings list
item.
Click
the Average Daily Credit list
item.
Click
the Hours Down spin
button.

You can also use the input field to enter in a number directly. We have an example of this later in the topic.
Click
the Apply button.
Click
the Close button.
If you'd like to add a bid preference, insert a line in the bid group, being mindful of its location relative to the other bid preference lines. As we have discussed, order is important, so any bid preferences listed above the one you create will be considered by the system first. For this example, you'll insert another line underneath line 12 to enter a preference for Enroute Check-In Time.
Click
the Insert line image.
Click
the Award Pairings list
item.
Click
the Enroute Check-In Time list
item.
Click
the Select dropdown
button.
Click
the After > list
item.
Click
the Hours input
field.
Press the Backspace
key.
Enter 9 into
the Hours field.
Click
the Apply button.
Click
the Close button.

Congratulations! You've reviewed how to manage your bid preferences in a bid group.
