How do I add multiple stages to an RFQ?

What's the issue you're facing?

I'd like to know if it's possible to create a multi-stage RFQ?

Solution

Yes it is possible to create a multi-stage RFQ is possble with Market Dojo. To do so you will first need to setup your event with an RFQ as normal. See the links below. 


Once you have set up your RFQ, setup your lots and invited your suppliers you can run the first stage as a standard RFQ. 
Once the deadline for the RFQ has passed you can then choose to add a subsequent round. 
To do so click on the + Add another Round button.


You can then choose the deadline for the next round of the RFQ by clicking here:


You can choose if you would like to allow participants to increase their bids from the last round or not by clicking here:

You can choose whether or not you would like participants to be able to see their rank from the last round by clicking here (note they will only see their rank if it's a ranked event):

You can then choose which participants you would like to participate in the next round by selecting them on the left.

Then once you selected everything you need to click on Save.


Once you have saved it a new RFQ round will start.
You can see select to see any round of the RFQ in the drop down highlighted below to view it in the same manner you would for any other RFQ. 

*Note that if you need to add a participant to one of the subsequent rounds that was not initially selected to be included in that round you would first need to end the current round and then add a new round where you can select to include the additional participant.  You can end the round by clicking on the Current drop down and selecting the End RFQ option.
