Automatic Holiday Bid Rules Properties

These properties define how to assign automatic holiday bids.

Table 1. Automatic Holiday Bid Rules Properties
Property Description
OPS > Bidding > Holiday > Automated > Create Holiday Bid By Division If true, holiday bid will be created by division, otherwise, holiday bid will be created by Agency.
OPS > Bidding > Holiday > Automated > Ignore Bid Unit If selected, holiday bid will ignore bid unit if bid work is not extraboard.
OPS > Bidding > Holiday > Automated > Work Matching If the employee's roster does not contain holiday work assignments for the defined holiday, this property specifies the work that Trapeze OPS assigns to operators when generating holiday bids.

If Assignment Based on Holiday Service Group is selected, operators are assigned runs from their holiday bids if the holiday is on their regular working day. For example, if a holiday falls on a Thursday and an operator usually works on Thursdays, the operator is assigned their holiday bid run for the day.

If Match Observed Day's Assignment to Holiday Service is selected, operators are assigned their regularly scheduled run for the holiday if it is part of the agency's holiday service. For example, if a holiday falls on a Thursday and an operator is assigned to Run 8 on Thursdays, the operator is assigned Run 8 for the holiday if the run is part of the agency's holiday service.

There are specific settings for the type of work being bid on.
