New Release – January 2020

Starting off 2020, the Market Dojo development team completed the long term project of adding Multi-Stage RFQs to our eSourcing tool. However, they have also been working to provide a host of other functionality improvements that were asked for by our users.

Here are just some of the features we have released:

‘My Events’ View

From the main dashboard of Market Dojo, user now have the ability to limit the information being viewed to only their events.

From the profile admin menu, or the dashboard settings pop-up, a new option is shown to view ‘All Events’ or ‘My Events’. When set to view ‘My Events’ all of the widgets on the dashboard will be adjusted to only show events the current user owns.

New Exports

We have had a number of requests to add exporting to various pages of the system. This month two new downloads have been introduced; for the participant database and individual participant groups:

SIM Recycle Bin Enhancements

When deleting a participant from your SIM Event, we have introduced two new features that make it easier to audit this process.

Upon clicking the delete button for a participant, notes can be added to explain the reason for their deletion.

Within the recycle bin, these notes can be viewed within the grid. A search bar has also been added to quickly find participants that have previously been deleted.

Easier Document Updating

To prevent the need to update all document links within the event brief and question descriptions, an option has been included against each document to update the file attached. In doing so a new document can be uploaded and all links to this document within the event will be automatically updated to point to this new document.

Other Changes

A number of other system changes were introduced in January, a series of smaller enhancements that will make usage of the product simpler and quicker:

• We added some help text on various screens to make the system more intuitive

• The ability to create lots tab name was amended to include ‘RFQ’ or ‘Auction’ for clarity
• Event Closure Date was added to the PowerBI report builder
• Contract email reminders contain the contract name and a link to the associated page

In the Works

We continue to develop features for both the long term and short term, with the following upcoming over the new few months:

• The sign-up process is being improved, with more flexibility on the activation link
• The documents tab will be moved forward on event creation to improve the flow
• Bulk deletion will be available on lots
• Approval within SIM can be assigned to a single person within the approval group
• Bookmarking of messages for future use
