From SSBA Knowledge Base

• All bids will be entered by going to Progress > Free Agency Period
• For each team, select them from the dropdown on the top left.
• Go to GM Actions > Free Agent Bids
• Before entering new bids, first clear bids that were cancelled. Click "Cancelled" This will be a list of people who have cancelled their bids since the last time FA was run. If they've canceled the bid, select that team in the top left from the dropdown, then select the player. Click Bid on Player, then Erase Bid, then Exit (this won't have to be done on Day 1 FA, but will for the rest).
• Next, enter in new or updated bids. Go back to GM Actions > Free Agent Bids, select view all. Bids are grouped by team, and sorted by starting salary, and includes the Player name, starting salary, # of years, and raise %.
• Select the team from the dropdown, then the player, then select bid on player. Enter in the first year, yearly raise, and number of years. Click Save bid. do this for all the players.
• For MLE, LLE, minimum and max bids, there are buttons on the bottom next to save bid that automatically fill in the values. Be careful with max bids, as that will enter in max years and max raises.
• When you bid on a player, the program will tell you what the max and minimum salaries can be.
• When all the bids are entered, Click "Process Day".
• It will then tell you who signed. Go back to GM ACtions > Free Agent Bids. For every player that signed, click the "Remove All" button next to their name. This will remove the player from the FA pool and clear all active bids.
• Go to the transactions page and paste who signed into the Free Agency Forum.
