Sourcing Optimizer

Syntax highlighting for formulas

Now you can distinguish between different expressions of a formula with syntax highlighting. This UI improvement better enables users to understand and troubleshoot formulas. This feature has been implemented for both Primary and Secondary cost calculations.

Pagination

We have added a second pagination control to the Columns tab on the Bid Sheet page. You can now navigate between pages by using the original pagination controls at the top of the page, and the additional controls at the bottom of the page. This extra feature allows you to move between pages faster and reduces the need to scroll to the top to change pages.

Autonomous Sourcing

Watchlist

We have added a Watchlist feature to the requests tab. The Watchlist features all requests that the user is watching. Standard users and Bot Owners can select a filter option to display all requests made using the Bot. 

  • Click the eye icon on the left side of the request name in the request list table
    • Select Watching to watch the request. The request will be added to the Watchlist and the user will receive notifications for request updates. 
    • Select Not watching to no longer watch a request. The request is removed from the Watchlist and the user will no longer receive notifications for request updates
  • Hover over the eye icon to determine each request's watch status
    • A bold eye icon is a watched request
    • A gray eye icon is an unwatched request

Bot user role

As part of an ongoing enhancement to Autonomous Sourcing, we have added a Bot user role feature which allows user's and teams to be added to a Bot, and assigned a role for the Bot.

  • The role of Bot Owner is automatically assigned when a user creates a Bot
  • The Bots tab is only visible to bot owners, and only the Bots that the user is responsible for will appear.

Table 1 lists the Bot user roles available for each user account
