You told it when you could fly. Once.
You set a weekly pattern and tweaked individual dates for the month. BidVision scored every trip against your real availability, by the hour, not just the day, so the trips that fit your life floated to the top. Your pattern carried over from bid to bid; you only adjusted the exceptions.
Prefer, Allow, Exclude: a spectrum, not a switch.
On any filter, you placed each option where it really sat for you. Prefer was your ideal: pull these to the top. Allow was a good one: a lighter nudge up. An option you left untouched stayed neutral, no opinion either way. Exclude was a negative: push it down. They were soft by default, so nothing disappeared unless you switched to Strict. It was how you'd actually rank your month, turned into a sorted list.
You told it which preferences mattered most.
Set a lot of preferences and some naturally count for more. You dragged your filters into a priority order and BidVision weighted the ranking to match: your must-haves moved trips further than your nice-to-haves. It wasn't another filter; it was how BidVision broke ties when trips competed for the top.
It showed the trips you'd otherwise miss.
A great trip that's a hair outside your filters is easy to miss. BidVision's preferences were soft: in Discover, near-matches still showed up, ranked, so you caught the ones you'd have scrolled right past. Knew exactly what you wanted? You flipped to Strict and it hid anything that broke your rules.
Hunting a specific trade? It filtered to the dates that mattered.
You set a date range and BidVision surfaced every trip touching those days: a fast way to research ETB and TTS trades around the schedule you were trying to build.
