Portal for vendors serves as a place for communicating data with vendors. It allows vendors to:
- View, accept and decline job offers
- View assigned jobs along with instructions and downloadable files
- Partially or fully deliver jobs
- View job history
- Invoice delivered jobs
- Track invoice payment status
- View vendor performance reports
Actually, vendor portal uses the same UI as main application, but security system hides and restricts access to any non-related data. In addition, list and edit views has different layouts to provide only information needed for vendors. For example, in the list of assignments a number of columns were deleted, while assignment editing form was reworked not only to hide few sensitive fields, but also to change layout: tabs are removed and groups of fields are stacked vertically. So, translator would not miss instructions or attached files, as it does not require to switch to another tab.
When vendor logs in into web portal, the following screen appears:
That's a dashboard, which shows all recent information about jobs, invoices and performance. Top widget called Offered jobs allows vendor to view available jobs, accept them and decline, or propose to change some terms by clicking Counter offer button.
Top navigation bar is almost empty, and includes only the following links:
- Translation assignments
- Incoming invoices
- Reports
- Language selector
- Link to edit Personal data
- Link to access personal account
