# Bid Rooms overview

> See every active bid response in one place, track it by stage and filter by deadline, value or assignee.

A Bid Room is the workspace for one bid response. It holds the buyer's files, the extracted requirements, your team's drafts, Emma's work plan and the final package you upload to the portal. The **Bid Room** page in the sidebar lists every response your organization is working on.

Most Bid Rooms start from a tender you qualified in the Pipeline with **Create response**. You can also create one directly from buyer files with **New Bid Room**. See [Create a Bid Room](https://reyda.mintlify.site/bid-room/create-a-bid-room.md). Until you have one, the page shows **No Active Bids Yet**.

## Stages

| Stage | What it means |
| - | - |
| **In Progress** | Your team is working on the response. Every new Bid Room starts here. |
| **Blocked** | Work is held up, for example while you wait for a certificate or a buyer answer. |
| **Submitted** | You've submitted the bid to the buyer. |
| **Won** | The buyer awarded you the contract. |
| **Lost** | The buyer chose another bidder. |

The stage changes only when someone sets it. You can change it:

* from **Status** on the room's [Overview](https://reyda.mintlify.site/bid-room/work-overview.md) tab;
* by dragging a card on the board;
* with **Set Stage** after selecting rooms in the list;
* by asking Emma.

## The list view

The list shows each Bid Room with its name, status, created date, deadline, estimated value and assignee. Use the row menu to:

* **Edit**: opens the Bid Room.
* **Archive**: hides the room from active work. You can include archived rooms again on the board.
* **Delete**: removes the room.

You can select several rooms to archive or delete them together.

## The board view

The board groups Bid Rooms into one column per stage. Drag a card to another column to change its stage.

To switch between the list and the board, open **Display** and choose **List** or **Board**. In the board view, **Display** also lets you adjust the board, for example to **Include archived** rooms, show **Only overdue bids**, or choose what each card shows.

Overdue bids are marked **Overdue**, so you can spot responses that have slipped past their deadline.

## Filter and search

**1. Search by name**

Type into **Search bids...** to search by name.

**2. Use the filter buttons to narrow the list**

* **Status**: one or more stages.
* **Deadline**: a preset range or **Custom**.
* **Contract value**: a **Minimum** and **Maximum**.
* **Assignee**: one or more colleagues.

**3. Click **Apply****

Use **Clear** to reset a filter.

## Inside a Bid Room

Each room has these tabs:

* **Overview**: status, assignees, dates, Emma's deliverables, activity and comments. See [Work overview](https://reyda.mintlify.site/bid-room/work-overview.md).
* **Requirements**: everything the buyer asks for, extracted from their documents. See [Requirements](https://reyda.mintlify.site/bid-room/requirements.md).
* **Documents**: buyer files, working files, your response files and the final package. See [Documents and editor](https://reyda.mintlify.site/bid-room/documents-and-editor.md).

The header also has **View Opportunity** (when the room is linked to a notice), **Share**, and **More options** → **Add to Calendar** for the submission deadline.

## Ask Emma

Emma can read your Bid Rooms and update them. Changing a status is something she does only when you ask.

Ask Emma

Which of our Bid Rooms are due in the next two weeks, and which ones still have no assignee?

Ask Emma

Move the Bid Room for the Leipzig facility management tender to Blocked and note that we are
waiting for the insurance certificate.
