Information on the latest of four types of offer are shown in the offer page. Each offer is specific to a settlementdate, a unit and a service. The four offer types are:
...
1 Your Draft offer. These will be blank until you load an offer from one of four sources into your draft offers (see description load into drafts below). You can then edit your draft offer and manually submit it. Last Modified At shows when each Draft offer was last modified. The screenshot shows, 3 minutes ago. Click on this link to open and edit the draft offer. Your draft offer is specific to you and cannot be shared.
2 Your Last Manual Submission. If there has been no manual submissions then this offer will be blank. Otherwise the Status will show the number of validation steps that has been completed in the submission process. For example the screenshot to the left shows, 5/5 Send to AEMO. Click on this link to access the offers as well as more detail of the success (or failure) of the bid validation. Submitted At shows how long ago you last manually submitted an offer.

4 Algo Offers are the latest offers created by an algorithm from vAdvisor. Last Modified At shows how long ago the Offer was last modified by vAdvisor. Note that vAdvisor will continue to reformulate and update optimal offers even when submit mode is OFF and therefore vOffer is not automatically submitting these updated offers.
2. Submit mode information and status
Important note: all offers are a function of unit, service and settlement date however submit mode applies for all settlementdates.
Submit Mode shows whether the automatic submission of vAdvisor bids is ON or OFF. Last Mode Switched At shows when the Submit Mode was last changed. Last Mode Switched By shows the person who made the last change to the submit mode. Last Modified Notes are the notes made by the person who last changed the submit mode.
ON and OFF defined: The submit mode is independent of the selected settlement date. AUTO means that vOffer is automatically collecting updated offers created by vAdvisor and submitting them to AEMO. MANUAL means that vOffer is not collecting updated offers from vAdvisor.
