In which we tell you how to easily create a new job so than you can send a bid, get a gig, get rich and take the entire Blinkbid crew out for drinks.

Create a new job for a new contact.

From the Create A New Job Window click on the New Contact button in the button bar. Then fill out some brief information about them and clink continue. You'll then be taken to the Overview window of the new job where you can finish filling out the contact's information and it will automatically update their contact card in the address book.

Create a new job for an existing contact.

From the Create A New Job window locate the contact that the job is for by clicking on their name in the list. You can also utilize the find function to locate their names as well.

Create a new job with a share code.

If another Blinkbid user shares a job with you, or you share a job from your desktop to your laptop computer, copy the share code that was sent you.

  1. Click the Import Shared Job button.
  2. Paste the share code into the lookup field.
  3. Verify that the job is going to the correct personality (this is only if you have more than one personality in your copy of Blinkbid.)
  4. Click the Import button.

The job with all the information that was shared will be created using the job number that was assigned to the job in the originators copy of Blinkbid.

Make sure you're in the correct personality.

If you use more than one personality in Blinkbid, be sure to look at the status bar at the top of the Create a New Job window. You can easily change personalities before creating the job by clicking on the drop down menu.

The expanded view.

The Expanded View of the Create a New Job window is exactly like the expanded view of the address book. You can filter by group and utilize the advance find function which looks at all the fields on the contact card not just the company and contact name field. Just like the standard view, click on a name to create a new job for the contact.
