Add a Pairing Number Departing on Date Bid from the Pairings Screen

Note: You must have the Pairing On Dates bid to add a pairing on date from the Pairings screen. You don't have the bid, you can't click on a pairing on date. 

 

You have two options: 

  1. add a Pairing Number Departing On Date bid preference 

  2. add a bid preference with pairing numbers returned from the search results (see add a bid from pairings screen). 


This topic shows how to add a Pairing on Date bid preference. You can add this bid to your Current and Default bid.


To add an Award of Avoid Bid:

  1. Add a Start Pairings bid group from the Bids screen. Refer to the Before You Can Add a Bid for important information before adding a bid from the Search screen.

    • Select a bid in the Start Pairings bid group. The bid preference selected is highlighted blue. The new bid preference is added below the highlighted bid.

  • Select a Pairing bid group in the Current/Default Bid. The new bid preference is added at the bottom of the selected bid group above the ‘Award Pairings’ system generated bid line.

  2. Optional, perform a search using any options you choose to narrow down the number of pairings in the list.

  3. Click on the red plus button beside the gray Award and Avoid buttons in the top menu bar to enable Add Bids Mode. The bids are added to the Start Pairings bid group.
