Overview
When bid participants are added, they are automatically selected to have a message sent to.
However, selections are also manually set depending on the circumstances and to manage the overall Bidding process.
Before making selections, the list of Bidding Participants in the Messaging list can be searched, filtered or sorted to narrow the list to display only the information specific to the circumstance.
Then individual or batches of Bidding Participants can be selected (or un-selected)
The Messaging list doesn't have to be searched, filtered or sorted to select or unselect contacts. It just makes the process simpler especially if the Bidding Participants list is long. See Bidding - Select Participants - via Search, Filter, Sorting.
The following outlines:
- Manual selection (or un-selection) an Individual Contact
- Manual selection (or un-selection) of Companies (and all their Contacts)
- Manual selection (or un-selection) of all Bidding Participants currently displayed in the Messaging list
Note* For manual selection (or un-selection) of all Bidding Participants currently displayed in the Messaging list, this applies only to what is displayed. For example, if there is a search or filter applied, only those displayed will be selected (any Bidding Participants not displayed - will not be selected).
