Avoid Voluntary is ignored if training events need to be filled and bidders with more seniority have avoided voluntary training. Your administrator sets a requirement for the minimum May Go that must be filled. The administrator also sets the Junior Assign status to each training pattern, if a pattern is set as Junior Assign the N-PBS Scheduler must award all of seats on the pattern.
The placement of the Avoid Voluntary Training bid is important. This bid tells the N-PBS Scheduler that you would prefer to get no training unless a training pattern is ranked as preferred based on your Award, Avoid or Prefer Off bids above it. If you are still awarded a training pattern this bid is ignored and your entire bid is used to award you a training pattern.
