Entering Tickets Using Bids
There are two ways to enter tickets into ITS: the Tickets Menu or the Bids Menu. The program starts with the default option of using the Tickets Menu to enter tickets.
In order to turn on the option of using bids to enter tickets, do the following:
1) Under the Tools Menu, click on "Options".
2) The Options Menu will pop up.
3) On the left hand side of the menu, click on "Ticket Entry" under "Tickets".
If you cannot see "Ticket Entry", click on the [+] sign next to "Tickets", and it should appear.
4) Select "Use bids to create tickets"
5) A window will pop up prompting you to restart the application in order for the change to take effect.
6)Click "OK" to close this window.
7) Click "OK" to close the pop-up Options Menu.
8) Close the program and re-open it, and you will now see the "Bids" icon, allowing you to now use the Bids Menu to enter tickets.
Using the Bids Menu
When you first click on "Bids", nothing will appear to happen; but look to the right side of the screen, and you will see what is called the "Bid Panel".
You can use the Bid Panel to create a new bid, search for a bid, save or delete the current bid, or create a ticket using the current bid.
To get started on your first bid, click "Create a new bid" in the Bid Panel.
More detailed instructions on creating and searching for bids can be found in the chapter "Creating and Searching for Bids".
