In the Project Summary and View Bidders screens, a countdown timer will show days, minutes, seconds until Bids are Unsealed. Example:

If you are using our PreconTabs Bid Tabulation & Bid Leveling module, your users will not be able to view any bid form submissions until Unseal day and time.  Until then, your users will see the following countdown timer:

Your Lead Estimator (and anyone else designated in your project settings under "Bid Upload Recipient"), will still receive email alerts upon each subcontractor's bid uploaded to your Planroom Portal. If one of your users attempts to click on the link in the email or on the bid icon in your bidders list in an attempt to open the bid before Unseal time, they will see the following message:

NOTES:
a) For data integrity and security reasons, a Sealed Bid date and time cannot be revised earlier once the project is created. If an Unseal Date and time needs to be revised before sending out Bid Invitations, we recommend deleting the project and creating a new one. If Bid Invitations have been sent and you need to extend the Unseal Date, create a Support Ticket so that there is written documentation of the revision. Our support will need written approval from an Admin User Role at your company.

b) The Download Bids icon is hidden on your bidders list until Unseal day and time.
