Admin (owners and admins)
Owners and admins can tune where BidTroller looks, what it counts as fence work, where you work, and who has a login.
The Admin area is for owners and admins only. Some screens are still rolling out. If you don’t see one yet, ask your BidTroller contact and they will make the change for you.
Bid sites
These are the public bid sites BidTroller checks for your company.
- Add a site: give the address of a city, county, school district or other bid page you want checked.
- Turn a site off if it never has work for you. You can turn it back on later.
- Run now to check a site right away instead of waiting for the next regular check.
- Health shows when each site was last checked and whether the check worked.
Some sites can’t be checked. See Questions and answers.
Keywords
Keywords help BidTroller decide which listings are fence work.
- Add words and phrases your company bids on, like “chain link”, “ornamental” or “gate operator”.
- Give a word more or less weight. Strong words count for more when BidTroller decides if a listing is fence work.
- Add negative words to keep out noise. Negative words, like “firewall”, point away from fence work.
Service area
- Set a radius in miles around each of your offices. Jobs inside it get the Within our normal service area flag, and jobs outside get the red one.
- Pick the states you work in.
- Include or leave out single counties, for when a radius doesn’t match where you really go.
Users and invitations
- Invite a teammate by email and choose their role. They sign in with an emailed code, so there is no password to send.
- Change a person’s role, or remove their access when they leave.
See Roles and permissions for what each role can do.
Elsewhere for owners and admins
- Add digest recipients without a login, and see recent emails, on the Notifications page.
- See who opened each job on its job page.
- Confirm project milestones on the Sign-offs page.
