Using the Express Agent

The Express interface is an HTML version of the Desktop interface, with some significant differences:

• It leaves your agent in the Garage and controls it remotely. (See “Note: Bidding From the Garage or From the Desktop.”)
• The screen is not updated in real time. You must click Refresh to update information in status displays.
• You may not create or cancel reservations through this interface. Nor can you submit manual bids or make changes to Traffic-based valuation settings. (Existing settings made in these areas through the Desktop interface are not affected by using the Express interface to change other settings.)

The Express interface is meant to support advanced users who know what the fields mean and wish to have a quick way to check agent status or make configuration changes.

(See “Express Agent View.”)

The Express agent is the first screen you see when you log in on the Merkato Portal.
