A scenario is a form of bid organization similar to creating a bid within a big. Every scenario will have its own individual pricing that we can see later on, on the estimate screen

#### Add Scenario Details

Type in a **Scenario Name**

Click the drop down arrow under **Filter Name** and select the filter set you would like to apply to this scenario

These drop-down options are defined in the company preferences portion of the Vector application

Click the **Add Scenario** button

The **Scenario** now appears on the left-hand side of your screen under the **Bid Tree**

By default, a section will automatically be added to your scenario. Sections are another level of organization within your scenario

#### Adding Additional Sections

Hover over the **Scenario** portion of the **Bid Tree**

Click the **Add Section** button
