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.
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.
