1 Introduction
Using Add Bids Mode functionality
In this training, we review how to use Add Bids Mode to place pairing bids.
We estimate that this will take 6 minutes to complete.
2 Detailed Explanation
ATTENTION
Before we begin, there must be an existing current active bid group. Let's go through the process of creating one to use in this example.
Click
the Pairings tab.
Click
the Plus image 
.
Click the Plus image to enable Add Bids Mode.
Click
the Pairing check
box.
Select the first pairing.
Click
the Check image. 
Use the Check image to add this pairing to the bid group.
Click
the OK button.
This error message occurs because we do not have an active pairing bid group.
Click
the Bids tab.
Let's now add an active bidding pairing group to our bids page.
Click
the Add Bid Group button.
Click
the Apply button.
SUCCESS
We've created an active bid group.
Click
the Pairings tab.
Let's now add preferences.
Click
the Check image.
The selection you made earlier is still active.
Confirm that you want to add this pairing to the current bid.
Click
the OK button.
Click
the Bids tab.
Let's look at the current bid and verify that the selected pairing was added.
Click
the Pairings tab.
The pairing we selected displays in the bid group.
Let's return to the Pairings tab and review some of the different preferences available.
Click
the Pairing check
box.
First, let's deselect the pairing we've been working with.
Click
the Average Daily Credit list
item.
Let's use a filter to identify pairings we may want to fly based on a high Average Daily Credit.
Click
the Select dropdown
button.
Click
the Greater Than > list
item.
Click
the Hours input
field.
Press
the 
Backspace key.
Enter 5 into
the Hours field.
Click
the Apply button.
Click
the Pairing list for If Average
Daily Credit > 005:00 check box.
In this scenario, we have reviewed all of these pairings and decided that they are all acceptable. We will therefore add the filter itself to the active bid group. We do this by selecting the check box for the filter.
Select the Check image to add this to the bid group.
Click
the Check image.
Click
the OK button.
Click
the Bids tab.
Let's verify that the filter has been added to the bid group.
Click
the Pairings tab.
Now, let's clear the existing filter and add a new filter which avoids departing on Saturdays and Sundays.
Click
the Reset button.
Click
the Depart On list
item.
Click
the Days Of Week List list
item.
Click
the Sa column
header.
Click
the Su column
header.
Click
the Apply button.
Click
the Avoid image 
.
The green circles indicate the pairings that meet the criteria in the filter.
And so forth...
Click
the OK button.
Click
the Bids tab.
Let's once again verify that our changes are present in the bid group.
Click
the Row 4 row.
Because it is a 'negative' bid, avoid pairings should typically be at the top of the bid preferences group. Let's move it up.
Click
the Up image. 
Click
the Up image.
