The required fields are all marked with asterisks and these need to be filled out in order to create a new bid:
- Bid Name
- Estimator
- Description
- Address 1
- City, State and Zip Code
Tip: On the bottom of this window there is a Plan Date, Bid Date, Start Date and an End Date. The Plan Date has to be before the Bid Date and the Start Date has to be before the End Date. This will help avoid errors on creating the new bid
Choosing the Unit System
Click the correct Unit System
Tip: It’s important to pick the correct unit system for the bid because this option cannot be changed once the bid is created. If you do need to change the unit system, you will have to create a new bid with the correct unit system.
