Epics
Re-indent UI changes |
Category: Manage module |
Availability: All Customers |
Keeping in line with customer requests and emerging demands, the Re-indent functionality under Indent Management has been enhanced. While the core features have been retained, their design has been refreshed to aid better usability. In addition to a UI refresh, the following enhancements have been introduced:
The bid decrement criteria configured under Admin Settings directly determines how low a bid can be placed compared to the original bid. Based on the configuration under the Shipper’s settings, the transporter will be able reduce the bid prices. For example, if the configuration is set as ‘By Cost’ and ‘300’, then a transporter can only reduce the bid placed by 300 minimum. If the initial bid amount was 10000, then Pando will not allow the bid to be lower than 300. When a transporter tries to enter a lower value, the submit button will be disabled and will continue to remain the same until the right value is added. |
