BBMRI-ERIC introduced status tracking of requests in the Negotiator 2.0. This means requests can be categorised based on their status, such as "Under review" or "shipped". It allows communication to be streamlined and requests to be tracked more easily.
We are now releasing a minor usability update in Negotiator 2.1, which should help you with using these features. The whole negotiation now has 3 tabs available:
You can interact with the request status in the first tab (e.g., indicating availability of material/data, providing MTA/DTA as a biobanker, or selecting which biobanks you want to continue with as a requester). The second tab is the request-wide discussion and the third tab is the confidential 1:1 communication between the requester and the biobank. Please note that the latter two tabs now indicate how many new messages you have.
The second important feature is the ability to sort collections/biobanks based on their indicated status (= e.g., availability of material/data). This is particularly important if you have negotiations with many collections/biobanks.
