S2G Bid Details page enhancements
The Bid Opportunity Details section in S2G will show several enhancements developed towards a more comprehensive and informational interface, improving the visibility of relevant data and the interactivity with the User.
These enhancements will be viewed partially or completely, depending on the User's Account Plan. For this, the "blurred" contents feature will block parts of the data to Users with free access to the application.
Some of the key improvements on the Bid Opportunity Details page are:
- General Layout: better usage of graphic tools, strategic business data, links to additional resources, and display of Milestones-related information are some of the features that will provide a better User Experience.
- Similar Bids: Bids with features that match the currently viewed Bid will be shown in a list with 2 different levels of access for both Free and Premium users, as well as the option to Upgrade the current Plan.
- Other Companies interested in the current Bid: will include the total number of views for the Bid.
- Advanced Search options: improved efficiency when looking for relevant business information by offering more detailed options and filters.
