Search Keywords with Special Characters
Based on customer feedback, we've updated search logic to allow keywords that include a subset of special characters. You can now create searches using keywords that contain any of the following special characters: + - = & : / .
Bids & RFP's: Updates to Date Fields
We've made a few enhancements in the Bids & RFP's module to give you more transparency into the date fields available for each Bid.
How to Find it:
- Navigate to the Bids & RFP’s module
- Click the three dots next to one of the columns in your search results table and select “Add Column”
- Search using the word “date” to find the below two fields:
- Date Added (GovSpend) - Date bid first ingested in GovSpend
- Date Updated (GovSpend) - Latest date bid record was updated/modified in GovSpend
- Select and add the 2 fields as columns
- Both fields can also be added as filters and exported
- From your results table, click on a Bid Description to navigate to a bid details page
- Hover over the dates displayed at the otp of the bid to view definitions of each date field
Single Sign-On: Auto-Verify Users Who Already Exist as a User in GovSpend
For customers with a custom SSO tenant, we now auto-verify users who already exist in GovSpend and are using the SSO URL to sign in for the first time. These users will bypass the registration/verification process and get right into GovSpend!
- For any account with a custom SSO tenant, below will be the user experience:
- Users signing in for the first time with no user created in GS will be auto-provisioned, meaning their user will be created on the backend and they will be logged into GS simply by clicking the SSO URL (existing feature)
- Users signing in for the first time that do have a user already created in GS will bypass the registration and verification process. When they click the SSO URL they will now be taken directly into GS (new feature)
