Notifying employees of a bid window

After the module has calculated employee bid windows, you can notify employees of their allocated bidding time.

Note: If you must modify the bid windows after employees have already been notified, you must first pause the bidding. You can then modify the bid with the new bid window values (by selecting Schedule Bid Setup > Create/Manage Schedule Bid and clicking Edit beside the schedule bid) and un-pause the bid. You will be prompted whether you want to recalculate the bid windows. If you respond Yes, the system will update employees’ future bid windows.

To notify employees of a bid window:

  1. Select Maintenance > Optional Modules > Schedule Bidding > Schedule Bid Admin.
  2. Select the check box beside the schedule bid for which you want to notify employees of bid windows.
  3. From the Select drop-down list, select Notify Bid Windows.
  4. Click Execute.
    A pop-up window displays the notification e-mail that will be sent to all employees in the bid group with their assigned bid window. You can modify this message, if required.
  5. Click Send.
