It's only the 1st of Feb and we are already on the second release of the year. And we think you'll agree it's a pretty exciting one - from now on you'll be able to add your approved suppliers to your requests.
No spoilers here - check out the details below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
✏️ Add Pre-Q approved suppliers to Requests
You can now add approved suppliers to your requests from within the supplier tab
Simply click on the new 'pre-qualification' button and from there a window will pop-up showing you all the suppliers you've sent questionnaires too
Filter this view by questionnaire(s) and then use the checkboxes to select and add them to your requests - simple!
🎣 Improved request filters
We create a more concise and detailed interface - to better support your more complex filtering needs
Current filters include: User, Tag, Status and (new) Supplier.
Search is also available for filter options for User, Supplier and Tag - simply type a query to quickly find the filter you need.
💰 Added “Request value” step to award request flow
The “Award request” flow will now include an additional step to help you consider your request value.
We'll now show you the calculated request value
From here you can tell us whether we are accurate or not.
The value will be the combined “Bid total” for all awarded suppliers, calculated from the “Total cost” across all line item sections.
If you tell us we haven't got it quite right then we'll ask you some quick follow-up questions to help us understand why so we can improve.
Plus, you'll be able to add the actual value yourself so you have the right data stored in the system.
⚡️ Section configuration improvements
The section configuration has moved to it’s own dedicated subsection
The section header will now show indicators in read-only mode, and in edit mode when contracted
In edit more, you'll be able to expand the to both view and edit the configuration.
💅🏼 Small but powerful improvements
Pre-qualification Hub
We've updated the expiry date reminder from 14 to 30 days you you're suppliers will have more time to get their ducks in a row 🐤
We've also added an expiry date reminder email, so that all buyers are kept up to date on their suppliers' documents
We've made it so you can send revisions from the main pre-qualification table AND from an individual template
You'll now see your questionnaire being sent in real-time and we'll send you a confirmation mail when we're done
When your supplier's make changes to their questionnaires you'll now be able to filter the view to only see the answers they've updated
Requests Hub
We've made a fix to ensure that requests do not show errors where sender companies are inadvertently added as suppliers.
We've also fixed disabled fields in the “Add field” menu so they are not too faded out, ensuring you'll be able to read them easily
There's a fix to ensure the content for the email address list tooltip in onboarding is correct and does not included HTML
In this release we've made sure that auction reminder emails do not contain “Undefined” labels within time values.
We're tying up loose ends, so we've added a fix to ensure “Draft” requests to not appear in the “Status” filter for the “Sent” requests table (as they should only appear in the “Drafts” tab)
From now on, all the status filters selected will be correct and won't reset every time a user loads the page.
We've fixed the logic to limit an auction length (to 1 year, in minutes) to avoid possibility of request deadlines showing “infinity” ♾
Fix to ensure the “Download files” popup does not include blank checkboxes (for evaluation pages)
Contracts Hub
We'll now send you an email when your supplier uploads a signed contract 📧
