Automatic Holiday Bid List
Trapeze OPS automatically creates holiday bid lists. Holiday bids can only consist of holiday runs, holiday PASS runs, and holiday extraboard.
The system property defines how holiday bids are created. You can select the following values:
- Never. Never generate automatic holiday bid lists.
- Manual. Generate automatic holiday bid lists from the ancillary Holiday screen.
- Activate Day. Automatic holiday bids are generated when you activate the day.
Note: Holiday bids can only be created for holidays that are activated.
