IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE 3.1. AVOID LAST MINUTE SUBMISSIONS Suppliers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the SPSRM System when they are granted access by way of a User ID and password. Early bid submissions are strongly encouraged. Last minute submissions may induce panic and this increases risk of failure to submit on time. Moreover, if Suppliers encounter any issues while submitting their bids and need to seek our assistance (Contact Us), there may not be sufficient time for us to provide help. Bid submissions after the submission deadline will not be accepted. __________________________________________________________________________________ 3.2. DO NOT LOG IN AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WITH A USER ID Do not log in at multiple locations* with a User ID at the same time. *The following are examples of multiple locations login: e.g.1: At two or more computers and logged in at all respective computers’ browser e.g.2: On a single computer but logged in at two or more different browsers (e.g. Chrome and Safari) Multiple logins with a single User ID may trigger the security feature to lock down the User ID, preventing activities within SPSRM. The time-out for the User ID to be unlocked may take up to 15 minutes from the last activity performed with the User ID. __________________________________________________________________________________ 3.3. ALWAYS CLOSE ALL BROWSER WINDOWS AFTER LOGGING OUT OF SRM Suppliers are recommended to close all browser windows after logging out of SRM. This will ensure the session’s cookies/cache is fully cleared. __________________________________________________________________________________ 3.4. UPDATING DOCUMENT CONTENT (REFRESH) The Refresh button may be used to update content in a particular area or the entire document. For faster update processing, it is recommended to use the Refresh button if it is available within the window (avoid using the browser’s refresh function). The Refresh button may be displayed in icon or in text: __________________________________________________________________________________ Page 7 of 78 S SRM User Guide Version 1.04 (Apr 2022) 3.5. AVOID USE OF BROWSER’S CLOSE BUTTON Note: Use the browser’s Close button only if there is no Close button within the window. Using the browser’s Close button may terminate the system’s processing prematurely. As the processing was interrupted, the system may not recognise the activity has been completed and this will lock the SPSRM document that was closed with the browser’s Close button. It may take up to 15 minutes for the lock to time out. To prevent this, use the Close button within the window if available. The pop-up box on the right will be displayed in two scenarios: i. The document in edit mode is already opened in another browser window. Solution: Check through the browser windows for the same document and continue with the required activities at that window. ii. The document was previously closed with the browser’s Close button. Solution: Check that there was no other opened browser window for the document. If so, wait for 15 minutes for the lock to time out before proceeding with the required activities again. __________________________________________________________________________________ Page 8 of 78 S SRM User Guide Version 1.04 (Apr 2022) 3.6.
