Saved Searches Page: "Type" Column
The search “Type” column on the Saved Searches page is now next to the search name. This makes it easier to reference the type of search (i.e. Bids, Spending, etc.) which can influence how you configure alerts for that search.
- Navigate to the Saved Searches page via the left navigation menu
- Observe that “Type” is now moved a few columns to the left, to the left of alert settings
- This is the default setting, you can still customize the organization of columns using the 3 dot menu in each column and “Move Right/Move Left”
Bids & RFP's: Improved Table Formatting on Bid Detail Pages
We know the formatting of data within a Bid Details page can sometimes be difficult to read. We are taking action to improve formatting, starting with some of the tables that we frequently see so you can more easily interpret the data quickly.
How to Find It:
- This update is available in the Bids & RFP’s Module via the left navigation menu
- Click the Bid description to navigate to a bid details page. Not all Bids will have these tables, so Click here for an example
- Scroll to the bottom of the details page to see the improved table formatting
Bids & RFP's: View Historical Files
You can now view both current and historical files for any bid record. We’ve added a new “Historical Files” tab with all files (current and historical) for that bid displayed with date and time the file was uploaded.
How to Find It:
- Navigate to the Bids & RFP’s Module via the left navigation menu
- Perform a search to filter your results
- Refer to the “Documents” column and find a record with documents
- Click the “Description” of that record to navigate to the Bid Details page: Example
