Objective: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn how to identify a scenario exported from VECTOR in The EDGE
Opening a VECTOR Bid
For this example, note these two things:
- The name of the bid: Medical Equipment Warehouse Job (2)
- The name of the exported Scenario: Export to Edge
The EDGE Version 12
To quickly find a bid & scenario exported from VECTOR, use your search bar in Version 12 to search by the exact name of the bid
As you can see from our successful export a bid was automatically created and inserted in your bid grid in Version 12, with much of the information entered on the overview screen flowing as well
You will also see the scenario with the same description as the one we exported from VECTOR
To advance further into the scenario, double left-click in the title field or use the next Arrow
Sections in Version 12
In Version 12 we see two sections:
