PBS Current vs New User Interface – Side by Side
Bulletin 3 – New U.I. Side-by-Side Page 1 of 41 2017-09-08
This bulletin reviews the Current User Interface (Current U.I.)
compared to the New User Interface (New U.I.) and is
meant as an introduction to the New U.I. as well as some of its
functionality. Although the New U.I. processes bids the
same way as it does right now, it is visually quite different
from what we are used to right now.
Navigating through the New U.I. will take time and practice. To
assist you in making the transition there will be a four
(4) month period where both the Current U.I. and the New U.I.
will be available for you to bid with. There will also be
more information on the New U.I. in bulletins and other tools to
assist you.
While the New U.I. does take advantage of a greater number of
platforms, including tablets it is not officially supported
on all platforms, operating systems and/or all browsers.
Additional platform, operating systems and possibly browser
support will continue to advance now that PBS will be moving its
interface to a newer type of browser. Any issues with
“non-supported” systems and browsers may not be able to be
corrected.

Bids Tab – Bid Preference Editor Current U.I. New U.I.
The Current layout of PBS opens up a new window in your browser
when
adding or editing new bid lines. The bid line options are
arranged
vertically where “sub options” like Any Aircraft are displayed
below the
option.
The New U.I. keeps everything in the same window on your screen.
As
such, we navigate vertically as with the Current layout however,
to save
screen space, the options on the Bid Preference Editor may
change to
reflect the specific preference that you are choosing.
Not to worry, although strange at first there are visual cues to
assist you in
navigating through the process if you know where they are.
To illustrate this, in the following example, we will create a
simple bid
line: Award Pairings If Any Aircraft Type 330.

Bids Tab – Bid Preference Editor New U.I.
NOTE: Screen shots have been cropped to save on space.
The New U.I. keeps everything on one screen. Bid lines are
created in the
Bid Preference Editor [1]. The Bid Preference Editor is not
always
displayed. It appears when you are adding a new bid line or
editing an
existing bid line.
The New U.I. will still display bid line options vertically in
the Bid
Preference Editor however “sub options” are displayed in a list
of their
own as preferences are selected. In this example we have
selected
Award Pairings [2], which brings up the Award Pairings
preferences [3].
To assist you in building your bid line(s) the header [4] will
indicate which
preference overlay is being displayed. Navigation aids [5] will
be
displayed in the Bid Preference Editor and on your bid sheet as
you build
your bid line. PBS will also display your progress in building
your bid line
as you move from one preference to another. Note that although
“Edit in
Progress” or a partial bid line appears on your bid sheet [6]
there is no bid
line number associated with it. This serves as a note of your
progress in
building your bid line.
We will continue our example by requesting Any Aircraft Type [7]
which
brings up the Any Aircraft Type preferences [8].
Again, navigation information is shown in the Bid Preference
Editor [9].
Now that we are at Any Aircraft Type we may select 330 [10].
You will notice that once you have selected an aircraft the
Apply [11]
button becomes active and you now see a preview of the bid line
that you
are building [12] on your bid sheet. This is helpful when you
are building
bid lines with multiple parameters.

The final step in creating a bid line is to select Apply. Once
that is done the
bid line will have a bid line number [13]. While the Bid
Preference Editor
is active you will still see the makings of the bid line [14]
without a bid
line number.
This information is still kept in the Bid Preference Editor and
may be used
to create multiple bid lines with similar parameters.
If you use the navigation within the Bid Preference Editor to go
back you
will see a checkmark [15] on any parameters that have been used
for the
bid line.
If you are done with this type of bid line and/or want to start
a new type of
bid line you may select Reset [16]. Since the Bid Preference
Editor is still
open, Edit in Progress [17] will be displayed as a bid line
preview on your
bid sheet.
If you have finished entering bid lines, selecting the Close
Editor icon [18]
will close the Bid Preference Editor. The bid line preview will
disappear as
the Bid Preference Editor has no data stored in it.
… and you will be redirected to your bid sheet.
Remember that you must submit [19] your bids for them to be used
for
your block awards. If you are off-line then you may save [20]
your bids to
the device that you are working on.
The icons are grayed out when not available.

We will add a Prefer Off March 6th bid line.
Select Prefer Off [10].
As we are in the Prefer Off options, Prefer Off [11] will appear

As we work in the Bid Preference Editor, PBS will show
information in
the bid line preview [12].
We will add a specific date in our Prefer Off bid line.
Select Dates List [13].
A calendar [14] will be displayed.
NOTE: Since we are now in the Dates List portion of the Prefer
Off
preference in the Bid Preference Editor, Dates List [15] is
displayed.
