(Beta) New & Improved: Invitations flow

In the coming weeks, we’re gearing up to beta release our new and improved invitations flows across the app. The new invitations experience puts greater access, visibility, and control in your hands when it comes to subcontractor selection and pricing. Bringing together your Address Book and the E1 Network into a single, streamlined view when issuing invitations. Over time, these new flows will replace the current invitations processes available through the ‘New Project Wizard’ and the ‘Invitations & Responses’ page.

Customise and save ‘Invites & Responses’ format

Your filters, sorts, and display preferences in the ‘Invitations & Responses’ table are now automatically saved for each project. This means you can pick up exactly where you left off, stay organised, and work faster without needing to constantly reset your setup.

Enable customisation of ‘Invites & Responses’ Excel report

Choose exactly which columns you want included in your ‘Invites & Responses’ Excel exports. Your selections will be remembered for next time, saved on a per-user basis. This makes it easier to export only the data you need, work faster in Excel, and keep your reporting clean, focused, and tailored to you.

See subcontractor activity before you connect (E1 Network)

You can now view key activity data on a subcontractor’s profile in the E1 Network prior to connecting with them. See when they were last active on E1 and when they last updated their profile, giving you the context you need to make more informed connection and engagement decisions.
