New release – June 2019

Here is what the Market Dojo development team have been working on recently…

Contract Dojo was Released!

We finished the first release of Contract Dojo, our new contract management tool. It was the product of many months’ work, and we are delighted to put it out for you to use.

For more information please see our product page view our recent webinar demo.

Notes against Sourcing Events

To ensure that all information around an event can be stored in one place, we have added the ability to allocate a note against a participant or the event as a whole.

From the participant summary there is a new note icon, displaying the number of notes against that participant, and acting as a link to a filtered version of the new notes tab.

If navigating to the Notes tab directly, all of the notes for this event will be displayed with the ability to filter, edit or add a new note.

SIM Enhancements

Along with the general status of a participant, a new tag has been added for the status of any participant uploaded documents. There are four available options:

• A blank document status means that no documents are associated with that participant, or they have been invited to a new questionnaire containing a document, but are yet to respond.
• Current, means that all documents have been uploaded and are within the expiry period. They have been checked and a decision made by the host.
• Expired simply means that at least one document on the participant has expired
• A status of Renewed is a means by which previously accepted participants who have re-uploaded expired documents can be identified

Against each SIM questionnaire, there is now the option to set a deadline.

When participants are then assigned this questionnaire, they will see the deadline date within the email, and when interacting with the questionnaire within SIM Dojo. This has been included to provide a sense of urgency in cases where responses are not forthcoming.

To ensure all of your suppliers are referenced correctly across all of your internal systems, we now allow an ID to be assigned within the Supplier Details tab. 

Within the SIM Settings admin tab, a new option has been added to determine who on the procurement team should receive email updates about the participant.

This can be set as the SIM event owner, or the Participant owner and will ensure that all emails from the system pertinent to that participant will go to that individual.

Two new Action areas are now included on the actions tab to flag participants who have recently uploaded previously expired documents, or who the host has made a decision on in the past 7 days.

Other Changes

Market Dojo events that are in Current or Closed status can now be deleted, helping to clear accounts of old events or testing.

The content within Help Dojo continues to broaden; with more answers and guidance available to all users.

Our language capabilities continue to expand, with traditional Chinese added, and we are always looking to grow the available options.

In the Works

There are a couple of features we have started to work on, that we expect to be with you soon:

• We have begun to explore allowing multiple users to be invited to a SIM event against a single participant, to allow multiple team members to login and complete the sections relevant to them.
• It will be easier than ever to link documents within event briefs and questions
