FAQ: Closed Events

How do I reopen a closed event?
With live editing, you can reopen a closed event. First open and begin editing your event. On the project timeline, edit the bid submission deadline. To reopen the event, change the deadline to a date and time in the future.
Can suppliers submit bids after the deadline?
You can enable suppliers to submit their bids past the deadline when you’re building out your event. Under the
Event Options
section, select either
Yes
or
No
from the
Late Bids
prompt.
You can also change whether suppliers can submit late bids at any time. Select or clear the
Allow Late Bids
check box on the event dashboard. If you:
  • Select the check box, suppliers are still able to submit bids after the event closes. In this case, reopening an event might encourage more suppliers to submit bids, but it's not necessary.
  • Clear the check box, you must extend the submission deadline in order to enable additional submissions.
Another way to give suppliers more time to work on their bids is by extending the submission deadline.
