Add a Followed By Bid

Followed By offers multiple options depending on the system configuration. See the Related Topics section for details on Maximum Time Between Pairings and Allow Intervening Activities. These options are not available if not visible in the interface.

Reminder:
 A Followed By bid preference is all or nothing. For instance, if the N-PBS Scheduler finds pairings that match all Followed By preferences, those pairings are awarded. However, if only some Followed By options are matched, no pairings are awarded.

To add a Followed By bid preference:

1. Select the first bid preference and any options, if any.
2. Click Followed By at the bottom of the Bid Preference Editor.
   
   

3. If available, select additional Followed By options.
   • Options vary by configuration.
   • If not visible, those options are not available.

4. Select the second bid preference and any options, if any.
5. Click Apply.

The bid preference is now added to the bid.

Remember that you need to select the options for your last bid preference, then click Apply to add the entire Followed By bid preference to your bid. You can edit each Followed By bid preference by clicking on the Edit button next to the bid preference.

Note: Followed By can be used to link multiple bid options. The administrator sets the maximum number allowed. The Followed By option becomes inactive once the maximum is reached.
