While creating a Vendors BP, you have an option to set the language, date format, and time zone specific to your bidders:
Note: The languages listed are the active languages selected in the Configuration - Internationalization log window, by the administrator.
- Contact Language:
- Date Format:
- Time Zone:
Note: The DEs mentioned above must be included in the RFB master vendor list BP (master vendor BP/vendor master BP) in uDesigner in order to be selected by the user in runtime.
The notifications follow the preferences of the user who has been specified in Bid Management Account field (Company Workplace > Admin mode > click Open from left-hand > Bid Management Account), who is designated as the manager for all bidders, or the company bid contact.
Selecting the above options enables the bidder to receive email notifications (also Unifier Bidder Portal web page content and Bidder forms) in the bidder's language, date format, and time zone.
If the above options are not available, or not selected, then the bidder receives email notifications (also Unifier Bidder Portal web page content and Bidder forms) following the user preferences whose name is indicated in the Bid Management Account field.
Note: If the RFB master vendor list BP (master vendor BP/vendor master BP) includes Date Format data element but no value is selected, the system displays a default date format (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM). The Company Administrator has to set the respective bidder’s date format in the RFB master vendor list BP.
Unlike a standard Unifier user, a bidder user cannot change the preferences in the bidder portal. When this option is clicked, the Preferences set forth in Vendor information record (for the vendor) will be seen in view only mode.
