BidConnect
Project Bid Status
The Bid Status page shows which suppliers were invited to bid for each bid group with a check box in the “received” or “missing “ column reflecting whether the supplier has submitted a bid for the bid group. The page is sorted by bid group and then by subcontractor name.
The page contains filters for the bid type (base house or options) and bid group. It also contains an email editor section that will allow the builder to send an email message to selected vendors based on the check box settings in the received and missing columns.
Columns on the Bid Status page:
Bid Group - This column shows the bid group that subcontractors are mapped to.
Subcontractor Name - This column displays the subcontractor name
Clicking on the subcontractor name will open a popup window displaying the company information from BuildPro for the supplier.
Received - This column contains a check box if the subcontractor has submitted their bid for the bidding project.
Clicking on the check box at the top of the column will place a check mark in all of the check boxes in the column
Missing - This column contains a check box if the subcontractor has not submitted their bid for the bidding project.
Email Message Section
The email message section of the page provides text boxes for entering the subject, message, and CC for the email message.
Placeholders for the project contact, cost codes, project name, subcontractor name, and today’s date may also be included in the subject and message text boxes. The placeholders will be resolved when the email message is sent.
Email messages sent on this page are included in the email tracking function
