Bid opening

When you first create a bid, its default status is NEW. For the bid to become active in the system, you must open the bid. After you open a bid, its status changes to OPEN. Employees can view the bidding information and set their preferences, if required.

From the OPEN state, you can perform these options:

  • Close bidding.
  • Pause or un-pause bidding.
  • Notify employees of bid windows.
  • Preview shift or shift pattern assignments.
