3. Advanced Opportunity Searching
With subscription access to the site, you are provided with the option to use Opportunity Matching and Advanced Searching. Opportunity Matching allows you to set keywords that would interest you on an opportunity (ie: painting). The system then watches for these keywords to appear in an entry and sends you an automated email notifying you when an opportunity meets your keyword criteria.
To make use of this feature, from the My Account menu at the top of the page, click on the Edit Opportunity Matching link.
Enter your keywords individually, or separate multiple words with "or" then click the green + icon next to the words "Add keyword to Search List". To remove keywords, click on the red X icon next to the words "Remove Keyword" for the keyword you wish to delete. Use quotes ("-") when your keyword has multiple words (ie: "roller blinds").
4. View Documents
Once you have the opportunity open, click on the Documents link in the Details menu to view the folders and documents.
Click on a folder to view its contents. Use the checkboxes to the left of the folders and files to select them, then use the buttons above the document list to order, download or print them. You can also use the 'select files added/updated since' dropdown menu to automatically select documents by their last modified or upload date.
To view documents, use the 'select viewing options' menu to select the program you would like to use. Browser Default will use your system default program.
