- Folder view for listings — group by month, drill in, and toggle between list and folder layouts, plus a new “Published by” column and filter.

A steady week of workflow upgrades and reliability work across quoting, listings, and file uploads.New & Improved
- Filtering and sorting on reference data and listings tables by part number, internal number, site, program, and manufacturer.
- Markup and adjusted-margin figures now appear in approval workflows alongside existing margin, with full reconciliation across approvals, inbox, and exports.

- Manually added quotes — record an ad-hoc quote and have it route through the normal approval workflow, carrying the same custom fields as quotes received by email.
- Part-level recurrence reporting shows which parts keep reappearing in RFQ activity over time, helping surface parts that aren’t resolving.
- Reworked basket experience across inbox and RFQ, with clearer, explicit actions for sending, assigning, and removing items.
- Editable approval pipelines — approval flow editors can add and reorder pipeline statuses on an existing flow, not just at creation.
- Inline program context — the inbox thread table now shows program context without opening the detail view.
- AI-assisted file cleansing — messy or non-standard files, screenshots, and pasted email text can be routed through a cleansing path alongside standard file uploads.
- A “thinking” indicator now shows while AI features are working.
- Restyled upload-tools tables for a more consistent look across the inbox.
- Time of day now shows in the inbox “Updated” column alongside the date.

- Fixed an error when switching teams from a detail page that no longer applied in the new team.
- Strengthened the file-cleansing pipeline against malformed or oversized source files, with clearer failure messages and safeguards against duplicate or dropped rows.
- Fixed a data-entry bug where fractional configuration values were being silently rounded down.
- Fixed inconsistent logos shown in expanded quote history.
- Fixed an issue where action dialogs could show your own previous quote instead of the partner’s latest one.

A batch of workflow upgrades and reliability fixes shipped this week across listings, quotes, and approvals.New & Improved
- Redesigned listing creation — quick add, bulk upload, and reference data search in one flow, with clearer status indicators while uploads process and the option to add a message when creating a listing.
- Quote comparison view now includes reference and program data for easier side-by-side evaluation.
- Secure approver portal with one-time passcode sign-in, so approvers can review and act on requests without a full account — including per-team column mapping and CSV/XLSX export.
- Assignment controls let team members claim specific listings and quotes, and you can filter any view down to just the items assigned to you.
- Bulk approvals — resend approval emails and complete multi-item approvals in one step, with a full send history for auditing.
- New analytics views and more flexible sorting options for account activity.
- Refreshed margin calculations and more flexible pricing fields across quotes and reporting.
- Ad hoc quote creation, plus the ability to reuse saved import mappings when bringing data in through upload tools.

Reliability

- Improved reliability of file upload processing, with retry options when something goes wrong.

- Polished animations and interface responsiveness across the app.
