single_bid/ for normal single-bid templates
block_bid/ for future block-bid templates
json/ for direct structured bid payloads
uploads/ for files sent through the application's Upload flow
folder_uploads/ for folder-upload scenarios grouped by market, screen, side, and TM ID

For folder uploads, folder_upload_sides can be set to Buy, Sell, or BUYSELL. BUYSELL uses a BUYSELL side folder when it exists; otherwise it runs the Buy and Sell side folders for the selected market and screen.

Large folder uploads can take longer than normal grid entry. The regression config uses folder_upload_progress_timeout_seconds for the maximum upload wait and folder_upload_keep_alive_interval_seconds for periodic browser activity during that wait. If folder_upload_continue_when_last_file_complete is true, the runner can continue when the last uploaded file reaches 100%, even if earlier rows remain below 100% because of errors such as bid-data validation. Incomplete rows are logged with file name, progress, and remarks.

Folder uploads run sequentially by default. Set folder_upload_execution_mode to parallel to run multiple TM folders at the same time, using folder_upload_max_parallel_sessions to control the number of browsers and folder_upload_parallel_login_stagger_seconds to stagger manual CAPTCHA entry. Use folder_upload_parallel_captcha_wait_seconds to control how long each parallel browser waits before submitting login after you type the CAPTCHA. Parallel mode uses one login per browser slot. With exchange login it uses users.exchange_parallel. With trading-member login it uses the entries under users.trading_members, and each member must list the TM folders it can upload with folder_upload_tm_ids or a matching member_id. Trading-member runs skip the TM dropdown because the application locks the TM to the logged-in user.

Config can now choose one of these bid-entry methods:

excel_grid
json_grid
file_upload
folder_upload

For block-bid bulk upload, set active_selection.bidding_screen to block_bid and choose IDAS > bidding > entry_method > block_bid > block_upload_method as file_upload or folder_upload. Folder upload uses the same grouped directory shape, with Block instead of Single, for example:

data/idas/bidding/folder_uploads/DAM/Block/BUYSELL/C1032

Set active_selection.bidding_screen to single_and_block_bid to run both folder-upload screens in one browser login. The runner processes single_bid first, then navigates directly to block bulk upload for block_bid.

After the block folder is selected, the runner accepts the browser upload confirmation when WebDriver exposes it, then waits until the page success message changes to FOLDER_UPLOADED_SUCCESSFULLY. Timing is logged from file selection through the success message. For large load-test folders, tune block_upload_success_timeout_seconds, block_upload_success_poll_seconds, and block_upload_progress_log_interval_seconds in runtime.json.
