1. To apply a bid file to a report, navigate back to the Report manager page via the left navigation pane, and select the report to which you want to apply the bid file.
2. Click the Manage simulation button and create a new simulation, or select an existing simulation from the list.
3. Select the Apply bid files button at the top of the screen to manage which bid files are currently applied to your simulation.
4. Search for your bid file, or look within a specific bid file group for the bid file that you want to apply to the report.
5. Select the bid file from the list. It will appear in the list at the top of the slideout. You can attach multiple bid files to the same report so that you can evaluate bid files for multiple customers simultaneously. Once all of your bid files have been added, click Save Changes.
6. The Apply bid files button will update to summarize the number of bid files currently applied to this report. Then, click Run Simulation to start the simulation. This will simulate the effect of the loads from the bid lanes on your network, and create a new report where you can see which lanes would be most beneficial to your network.
