Enabling & Disabling Submit Bid for Bots

The Submit Enabled tool allows you to disable bid submissions for a particular account without fully turning off the bot. This means the bot will still perform other tasks like logging into TMS, reading loads, and sending logs to your team’s channel and datastore, but it won't bid on any loads.

Reasons why you might want to use the Submit Enabled V2 tool:

  • If you need to pause bidding on an account due to changes in logic.
  • If you have requested logic updates that require the submission of bids being disabled 
  • To enable the bot bid submission after initial account handover 

If you find yourself in any of the situations mentioned above, then you are on the right page. If you are looking to completely turn off the bot please see this article.

This interface is a replacement for the DDDB-based submit-enabled system. Switching each submit-enabled switch to False (to red) will prevent the bot from clicking the "Submit Bid" button or "Submit" button, once it's finished processing a load.

Switching it to False will NOT:
- prevent the bot from running per schedule. The bot will STILL run.
- prevent the bot from running it's normal processes (except for clicking the "Submit Bid" button)

If the switch doesn't seem to be working (or is disabled), please contact your Project Coordinator for more information. If you're not sure of what these switches might do to your bots or need more information, please contact your Project Coordinator.

Steps to disable or enable submit bid for a bot

Step 1: Log in to your client studio account.

Step 2: Expand the menu on the left by hovering your mouse over the icons

Step 3: Select "SUBMIT ENABLED V2" from the available options.

Step 4: Select the tree name from the list and toggle the submit enabled status to TRUE or FALSE.

  • TRUE indicates active bid submission by the bot.
  • FALSE indicates the bot is not engaged in the bid submission process.


Step 5: To stop a Bot from placing bids -  Toggle the Submit Enabled Status to FALSE.

Step 6: To enable placing bids -  Toggle the Submit Enabled Status to TRUE.

Note: The system will log the studio user id of the individual who activated and deactivated it, along with the time the bot was halted.
