Small changes

In this release, the following small changes have been implemented:

• TM - Addition of an extra endpoint to the TenderGuid, which allows customers to export tender data at a certain moment in time, instead of using the Archive functionality.

• TM - Drag-and-drop in the requirements will not be triggered by clicking anywhere on the card but on the designated place in the card.

• TM - From now on it’s possible for suppliers to unsubmit their offer in DPSs when the status is ‘Admitted’.

• TM - Legal basis is added to the organizational profile. This will help buyers with the creation of eForms (not visible until the deployment of eForms in October.

• TM - Multiple changes to the messages module have been

  • When receiving replies within a message thread, the message will now move up top again.

  • The date and timestamp in the main message menu will now display the date/time of the latest received message.

  • Multiple UI changes within a message to make the screens more clear and consistent. This means displaying some information is now shown in a different place, and also getting rid of some redundant information.
