Bid Calendar
The bid calendar lists the bids that you are still preparing, from every project you can see, with the bid that is due next at the top. Use it each morning to plan the work of the day.
| Menu | Estimator > Bid calendar |

What you see depends on your role. If the menu, a button or a setting on this page is missing, ask your administrator to give you the permission listed above or to turn on the feature. Only administrators can turn features on and change site settings.
What the calendar shows
The calendar shows the bids in the Draft and In progress statuses that have a Due date and time. A bid without a due time does not show, so enter the due time when you add the bid. Each row shows:
- The general contractor or owner the bid goes to. If you can change the bid, click it to edit the bid.
- The status of the bid.
- The score of its bid/no-bid checklist, when the checklist has ratings.
- Due soon when the bid is due in the next 48 hours, or Overdue when its due time has passed.
- The due date and time, in the time zone of the project.
- The project. Click it to open the project.
A bid leaves the calendar when you submit it, or when its status changes to No bid. A bid that is past due stays on the calendar for 30 days, so a missed deadline does not go out of sight.
If you can manage only your own projects, the calendar shows the bids of the projects you lead or are on the team of.
