You can adjust the parameters that place limitations on bid construction. You can also reset the bid preferences to the default values.
To set the bid preferences:
Click the Bid Manager tab.
Click the Preferences tab.
Make changes to the bid options and bid preference variables.
The maximum number of bid lines sets the largest number of bid preferences that a single bid can contain; the system-generated bid preferences are not included in this number.
The maximum number of Ifs sets the largest number of conditions that a crewmember can place on a single bid preference.
The maximum number of employees sets the largest number of separate employee numbers that can be included on a single bid preference (i.e. Avoid Employee bid preference).
Click the Save button.
Note: If you reduce the maximum number of bid lines after longer bids have already been submitted, these longer bids will not be affected. However, crewmembers cannot add additional lines to these bids until they remove enough lines to get under the new maximum that you set. They can continue to edit existing lines, even if the lines are above your new maximum value.
To reset the bid preferences to their default values:
Click the Bid Manager tab.
Click the Preferences tab.
Click the Reset button.
The N-PBS Scheduler reverts all bid preference settings to the default values.
