Bids

This section covers the creation and editing of bids.
This section of the website is only visible to logged in members.

The bid section has been built so that a third party ‘contributor’ can make edits directly to this section. Once constructed, a SEAMS admin member will need to approve the new entry and be published to the list of active bids.

If bid is created by an admin user, no further validation will be necessary and clicking Publish will make the bid immediately available on the site.
