Saved Search on ESN Pro

Saved Searches are now available for Euna Supplier Pro subscribers! Users can build and save various searches, using all available filters, commodity codes, and keywords to conveniently find what they need. Saved searches are easily accessible from your Opportunities section.

Note

It is important to highlight from the start that Saved Searches and Recommendations work independently: changing or updating your saved searches does not affect recommendations, and vice versa.

Accessing saved searches

There are two ways to access your saved searches:

1. Via Account Settings > Saved Search:

Account Settings menu with the Saved Search option highlighted.

2. Via the Opportunities page, by clicking the Saved Search button:

Creating a new saved search

Creating a new saved search can be done in two different ways:

1. From any tab within the Opportunities section, use the Saved Search button and click Add Advanced Saved Search

Saved Search button menu with the Add Advanced Saved Search option.

2. Navigating to Account Settings and to the Saved Search tab, then clicking the Add Saved Search button

Saved Search tab in Account Settings with the Add Saved Search button.

This takes you to the Saved Search builder, where you can begin building your search:

Saved Search builder screen with the filter panel on the left.

  • On the left-hand side, you have all the filters that are available in the system:
    • Name - Add a name for each search.
    • Search Terms - This works like your keywords in your settings and allows you to choose a number of different terms to improve your search.

New functionality has been added to enable excluding words or terms from your search results.

For example: you are searching for Peanut butter and Jam but you do not want any sandwiches to show up in your search. Adding the word Sandwich or Sandwiches to the Exclude section removes any results that include that word, even if they match all your other criteria.

  • Commodity Codes - Commodity codes functionality is similar to your account settings. It allows you to further enhance your search results based on the commodity codes labeled on an opportunity.
  • Locations - Enables filtering of opportunities based on the opportunity's location.
  • Organizations - Filter based on specific organizations
  • Status - Filter based on Open or Closed opportunities
  • Opportunity Type - Filter based on what kind of solicitation you are looking for (e.g., RFP, RFQ, etc.).
  • Opportunity Source - Filter based on Euna Procurement exclusive opportunities or from other sources gathered for your convenience
  • Viewed - Filter based on opportunities marked as viewed or ones not viewed yet

Once you are done building your search, click Save Search at the bottom of the screen to create it.

Using saved searches

From the Opportunities page, use the Saved Search dropdown to view your saved searches. You can click any of them to bring up your results: this displays results in a new tab, with the name of your search and the number of results:

  • You can edit or delete a search from the drop-down

If you decide the results are not exactly what you expected and you change any filters that fit better with your search, you can save the current search.

You are prompted to choose whether to override the current search or create a new one based on these filters:
