Issue
You attempt to create an interactive Project/Bid, but receive an error message indicating you do not have sufficient rights to create a bid.
Discussion
This is caused by one of the following situations:
- Quick Bid is not authorized, activate a valid license in OST and Quick Bid.
- You have filtered the Quick Bid Bids Tab - this causes On-Screen Takeoff's attempt to create the Project/Bid to fail.
- The user logged into Quick Bid (if logins are required) does not have rights to create bids.
Resolution
- Verify that Quick Bid displays 'QB' in the bottom right corner of the application, indicating it is licensed. See Licensing On-Screen Takeoff, Quick Bid, and Digital Production Control for more information.
- Return to Quick Bid and remove all filters from the Bids Tab (Project Name, Estimator, etc.). See Quick Bid - 02.01 The Bids Tab - Bid Organization for more information.
- Contact your database administrator or estimating manager for assistance with adjusting your user rights. See Quick Bid - 15.06 Setting Up Application Access Levels to Restrict What Users Can Do (Securing your database - Part 1) for details on using Quick Bid's database-level security.
