SourceMagnet got a new design over the weekend of 4 to 6 September. Nothing has been deleted. Procurements, contracts, documents and projects came across with the same content. What changed is where things sit.
The menu moved from the top to the left
The menus that ran across the top now sit down the left-hand side, in sections you can fold away.
Where things are now
What you were looking for | Before | Now |
Companies | Its own menu at the top | Market → Companies |
Procurements at a given stage | You filtered the list yourself | Their own entries under Procurements |
Settings, Access management, Switch organization | My account in the top right | Your name at the bottom of the left menu |
The procurement shows stage and tabs
At the top of the procurement sits a numbered bar showing where you are. Below it are the tabs Request, Qualification, Bids, Evaluation, Award, Communication, Tasks and Team. Questions and answers from suppliers sit under Communication.
For public-sector buyers
The menu entries read Announced and Award and standstill, and the stage bar has its own Standstill step. The criteria bids are scored against are called Award criteria.
For private businesses
The menu entries read Invitations sent and Award, and the criteria are called Evaluation requirements. When you create a procurement you now choose what it asks for. Everything is optional.
Switch an option on and the wizard gains a step for it.
Products appears if your organisation has access to products.
⚠️ Important
You can change the options for as long as the procurement is a draft. Switching off Minimum requirements or Evaluation requirements removes the content you have added there.
Templates and the requirement library
Administrators set up templates under Library → Templates, and reusable requirements under Requirement library. Library is visible to administrators only, but everyone can use the templates: pick one with Apply template in the wizard.
