Configuring Your Search

BidPlus provides you with the ability to configure your search and indicate exactly what kind of lines (7 position, 3 position, XSC E or Y, Language, etc.) that you would like to include in your search. You may be interested in only seeing one type of line, so there is no point in including all types of lines only to have to weed them out later.

Start on the Criteria Selection screen. To setup the Configuration you want, click on the Tools button at the bottom.

You will be presented with the Configure Dialog Box.

By default, the Configure feature is preset so that everything on the right side is checked, as well as the 'No Qualification' check box on the top left. The program is designed to include everything that is checked in this box in your search. So, for example, if you want to only see XSC 'E' position lines, then you would need to de-select everything else (except the 'No Qualification'). The Configure dialog box would then look like this (after you first click OK, and then click Tools again to re-open it:

Notice how the only thing checked is the XSC 'E' position (and the 'No Qulaification'). This means that when you do your search, the only lines that will be shown to you are the XSC 'E' position lines that also fit any other criteria that you may have selected.

Also notice that you now have a warning displayed indicating that you have restricted your search by removing some or all of the checks from the boxes. The program provides you with one additional warning as well. You will see the words "Restricted Search" displayed beneath the Tools button anytime your search has been restricted. These warnings also apply to the Legalities feature .

**Please Note**
The 'No Qualification' MUST also always be checked anytime you are looking for lines indicated by the check boxes on the right. The reason for this is that there is no qualification required to bid for these lines. You would not need to check the 'No Qualification' box if you were bidding for language lines because you DO need to be qualified to in order to bid those lines.

Also note that the Configure box and feature is different then Position Bidding . There are no positions applied in this process. You are simply selecting lines that contain a certain number of f/a positions on the line itself.
