5 Editing a tender When you are invited by a shipper to a tender, you find the RFQ in your list of invitations. You have several options to search for tenders and to customize the list. You select the tender deadline and you can then narrow the list down according to the stars, status, ID, name or customer. When you search for the time frame, please be aware that the maximum number of days to search for is 90. Moreover, each tender you can rank with stars: the more stars, the more interesting this RFQ is for you. With this you manage and prioritize your invitations. Also, the shipper gets feedback and will be able to judge for which of the tenders you would be an interesting supplier to invite. When you only send 1 star, this means that you are not interested and therefore no more notifications are being sent to you. Now, you also have the option to see the tenders of the shippers which you have blocked. For this, please tick the box blocked and the tenders from these shippers will be included in your list: Seite 5 / 10
