Bidding For Reserve

Reserve bidding can currently only be accomplished manually, and is done so in one of two ways. The Reserve Lines can either be manually reveiwed and selected from the Reserve screen. Or they can be selected from the Unselected Lines screen in the exact same manner that is desribed in the Manual Bidding section.

We will use this section to describe how to use the Reserve screen to select your Reserve Lines. For details on how to select Reserve Lines manually from the Unselected Lines, click here.

The Reserve screen can be accessed from either the Criteria Selection screen , or from the Review and Edit screen. To begin, click on the RSV button in the button bar.

You are then presented with the Reserve screen.

The Reserve lines on this screen are displayed in the same manner as the 4 Line display on the Review and Edit screen. You are provided with scroll bars on the right side so that you are able to easily review all of the lines on the screen.

To select your desired lines, simply place the mouse pointer somewhere in the line, and then double click with the left mouse button. That selected line will disappear in preparation for pasting. In this case we will select line 1403.

Notice that Line # 1403 has disappeared. Also notice that in the header at the top, the "Total Lines Selected for Insertion:" has recorded 1 line selected. This will continue to change as we select more lines.

Next we will select Line # 1401.

Finally, we will selecte Line # 1406.

Now that we have 3 lines selected, click on the 'Poof' button to close this screen and return to the Criteria Selection screen.

Now you are able to either paste your selected Reserve lines into the existing Bank, or you can click on the 'Add' button at the bottom and paste them into a brand new Bank. If you were to click on the 'Paste' button at this point, then your selectd Reserve Lines would be pasted into the Bank that is highlghted, and they would be pasted in front of any lines that are already in the Bank.

In this example, we will show you how to paste them in front of a particular line that is already in the Bank. Click on the 'View' button at the bottom.

This presents you with the Review and Edit screen for this Bank. We can now view the lines it contains.

We have clicked on Line # 215 to indicate that it is the target line number, and that the selected Rerserve lines are to be pasted in front of it. Now click on the 'Paste' button in the button bar at the top.

You will see that the 3 Reserve lines, 1403, 1401, & 1406, have now been pasted in front of Line # 215.

That's it! Be sure to review the method for Manual Bidding , which is the preferred method for Bidding Reserve.
