Choosing your database options is an important step before you begin bidding in a new database. Once you choose these settings, they will be applied to each bid created in the database. It takes a few minutes to do all your database setup, but doing it NOW will save you a lot of time down the road when you're actually bidding.
From the Tools menu, click Options.

You can always restore all the default settings by clicking the Reset All Settings button.
