New Release – September 2018

Here is the latest instalment of our regular release update series…

Transformation bidding – multiple calculations

Advanced Lots now support multiple calculation rows and columns. This means you can have calculations representing different aspects of the lot. This greatly increases the flexibility and usefulness of advanced lots and we plan to blog more about how this can be applied to common sourcing requirements.

Tagging

We wrote about Tagging in our August update, but I wanted to mention it again this month because it is now Generally Available!

SIM – Archive answered questionnaire

If you are using our Supplier Onboarding tool, and work with the same suppliers for several years, you may find that the scope of the goods or services they provide changes. When this happens, the information you need to collect from them may change as well. For example, if a supplier was performing asbestos removal, they may need a particular certificate or insurance. If they only do general maintenance work, they do not need to provide the same certification.

Now, you can archive an answered questionnaire.

The option to archive a participant’s answers is shown on the decision tab.

You can still view the archived answers, but, participants will not be promoted to keep them up to date… If the situation changes again, you can easily un-archive them.

Improvements when editing scorers

Scorers collaborate to review and score participants questionnaires, both in sourcing events and for supplier onboarding. This makes it very simple to collaborate with a team or subject matter experts when assessing a response. As our customers are inviting more scorers to their events, we have given the scorer popup an overhaul to make it faster and work better with large numbers of scorers.

Other changes

The team made many more smaller changes and fixes since our last update, all of which contribute to making Market Dojo better for our customers.
