Create and Manage Saved Searches

Overview

Saved Searches within the Bid Match allows you to quickly save sets of filters to find specific types of opportunities quickly and easily. GovDash makes it easy to create, manage, and switch between searches, and even control which profile is your main email digest feed.

Creating and Managing Saved Searches

Default Saved Search

Every GovDash team has a default search that contains the NAICS and PSC codes that we use to provide you with relevant results, based on the past performance that you've uploaded to GovDash. This profile is continually updated based on the documentation that you upload.

To see this default profile, click the GovDash's Picks from the list of your searches.

GovDash’s Picks Note

The default GovDash's Picks saved search filters cannot be edited, but you can alter the submission timeline and default profile setting here

Creating New Searches

To create a new saved search, first enter your search criteria through the search options on the left-hand side of Bid Match, such as your keywords, NAICS, organizations, set asides, etc. Then, click the Create button at the bottom of the search pane.

Provide your Saved Search with a name to describe your search, set the submission timeline, and optionally select it as your default search.

The submission timeline controls the opportunities that are shown based on the due date, relative to the number of days you select.

Setting your search as the default controls which saved search will populate your weekly email digest.

Using Saved Searches

To change between your saved searches, click the drop down menu next to Saved Searches to access your list of searches. Your saved search’s criteria will be applied to the search, as shown below.

If you'd like to create a new Saved Search from your search criteria, click Create at the bottom of the search criteria window.

Updating Saved Searches

To update your saved search with new or edited criteria, simply make your changes using the search pane (such as adding new criteria, or removing existing criteria), and click Update.

This will update the saved search profile and the changes will be reflected when you use the saved search again.

You can remove criteria from your search by clicking the criteria category at the top of the Bid Match search pane, and if multiple selections are made in a category (such as multiple NAICS codes), a menu will appear that will allow you to make your deletions.
