When a RedJade licensee sends a hosting request, a notification is sent to the field site managers, based on their notification settings. After reviewing the bid you can choose whether to accept and provide a bid. If the licensee declines the bid, you'll receive a notification. If it’s accepted, you can proceed to scheduling the reservations, adding participants and reviewing the Design Block.
