Learn how to use the Bid Planner so you and your team can manage and stay organized in PlanHub.
As a Supplier you likely have many different projects you are monitoring, you can save these projects to your Bid Planner to ensure you never miss an update, assign it to your team members, keep your team in the loop of your progress on the project, and track your wins.
To add a project to your Bid Planner click on the heart on the project.
To manage the projects on your Bid Planner, go to the Bid Planner page on your PlanHub account.
In the Bid Planner you will see a list of projects you or your team have Saved, along with the project Status tabs. As you and your team work on a project you can categorize the status that project is currently in by updating the Project Status.
Your categorization of a Projects status on the Bid Planner is Private to you and your team members.
Internal Status tabs include:

- Won: Projects for which you or your team members have indicated that you won, these projects may or may not be assigned.
- Lost: Projects for which you or your teamembers have indicated that you lost, these projects may or may not be assigned.
In each of these tabs is a list of the projects that have been moved to this status. You can search for a Project by name using the Search bar, you can also filter the projects listed to those assigned to a team member or projects that are unassigned.
