Tips And Considerations

The user preference “Disable Service Provider Selection For Open Tender” overrides the property “glog.webserver.opentender.servProvDefaultUnSelected”, which when set to true will deselect all the service providers listed on the open tender. If the new “Disable Service Provider Selection For Open Tender” is used, the check box will remain checked even when the property is set to true.
