New features and enhancements

Portal 3.3

Staff Portal

  • Staff members are now able to process requests as final cancellations using a button versus having to select a code from a combined dropdown list. The 'Unfilled' tab that appears when processing requests is renamed 'Unfilled / Cancel' in Portal 3.3. When selected, two options for marking a request unfilled will be presented; 'Unfilled and Cancel'. The default button is 'Unfilled'. If a request is processed as 'Unfilled', the request will be routed to the next supplier in the routing list.
