July 12, 2021
BobcatBUY (BCB) will be unavailable from Friday, July 23-25, 2021 while a user interface (UI) upgrade is completed. When you log in after the update is complete, you will be greeted with a new pop-up window. Click the Yes or No radio button to see a Step-By-Step Tour and/or a video showing you some of the new features. These are not OHIO specific, however, we have prepared a Quick Reference Guide in advance of the release available on the BobcatBUY page on July 22, 2021.
If you select No to the Show this again question, you will no longer see this pop-up window. To turn it back on, click the profile drop down at the top right of the screen and select View My Profile. When your profile opens, select the Guided Tour Instructions on the left menu under your name. Click the Edit Section link to update your response to the questions.
One of the first things you will notice when you log in is a new search bar with more open space and fewer boxes. This theme carries through to the shopping cart, requisition, purchase order, and invoice screens.
While most of the UI changes are cosmetic, some of the buttons and information sections have been moved and/or reorganized, please be sure to review the Quick Reference Guide after it is made available on July 22 to be fully prepared for the upgrade.
