Sprint 140

No big items were part of this sprint; the focus was mainly om small topics.

MeForms

• Publish tender - With the implementation of MeForms, the pop-up to actually start your tender was not implemented. This caused that the ‘publication date’ would remain empty quite often, which lead to tenders that are on the Published Tenders page, but supplier could not participate. 2nd line currently performs a workaround each day to ‘fix’ those tenders.
  But now, the below pop-up has returned when publishing a tender (the BPM setting for that round needs to be set on “start with publication“). Please note that the pop-up will only appear for the first publication you do in a tender.
  Short explanation:

  • Start as scheduled: tender will be accessible for suppliers from the date that was set in the schedule. If this is empty (as below), then the will NOT automatically be accessible by suppliers.

  • Start now: tender will automatically be accessible for suppliers as soon as it gets published on the Published Tenders page. The ‘publish tender’ date will be overwritten by that date.

• Contact person - In every publication form, a contact person of the buyer organization is prefilled. This was prefilled from the organization profile. This has now changed so the contact person of the tender will be prefilled.

• TED publication date - For European publications (via TenderNed), the TED publication date was never shown. This caused confusion by buyers. This date will now be shown to make it more clear the tender has been fully published.
  Please note that this date - if applicable - will also be added to previously published eForms.

• Review body - The review body would always be created as an organization in MeForms, even it was completely empty in the templates section. This is now changed, so the review body will only appear if the official name of the review body is filled out in the templates section.

• Form 22 - Fixed an issue where form 22 would disappear after completing validation.

Small changes

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

• Granting access - After a user grants access to their user profile, it now displays the exact date and time of when it will automatically expire.

  Open

  

• Supplier services - The selected subscription and marketing consent setting are now saved in the session storage. This means from now on it will be possible to reach out to certain users via WhatFix.

Bug fixes

• Questionnaire exports - A bug has been resolved where the ZIP export of a tender and the all answers export would fail if in that tender a questionnaire exists that solely contains informative questions.

• Offer > evaluators team - A bug has been resolved where the user couldn’t see all assigned evaluators if it were too many (scroll bar was missing).

• Technical change - Mail service provider has been changed. This was SendGrid, but it now changed to Mailjet.
