New Updates: SpendLogic's Search Screen Enhancements – SpendLogic

What’s changed?

SpendLogic has updated the Search Reports screen to improve filtering, sorting, and overall usability.

These enhancements make it easier to find reports, understand which filters are applied, and navigate results more efficiently.

Key Updates

Simplified Search Layout

The filter section previously shown above the table has been removed
Search and filtering are now handled directly within the report table
Applied filters now appear under Search Reports so users can quickly see what has been selected
Each applied filter includes an “x” so it can be removed individually

Updated Column Layout

The Program column has been removed
PO and Supplier are now displayed in separate columns
The Type column has been updated with clearer naming and more detailed report information
For report types that do not use certain fields, those cells will remain blank

Improved Filtering and Sorting

Clicking a column header now opens a filter window
From the filter window, users can:
- Sort results
- Search within available values
- Select one or multiple filter values
- Remove filters
Date columns now support Start and End date filtering
Default sorting is now set to Updated, Newest to Oldest

Multi-Select Filter Options

The search screen now supports multi-select filtering in key areas, including:

Type
Checkmark/Status

Status filtering now includes:

Complete
Incomplete
Finalized

Updated Type Options

The Type filter has been updated and now includes:

Documentation Folders
Price Analysis (Competitive)
Price Analysis/SJ (Non-Competitive)
Commerciality
Data Extracts (formerly known as CPSR Reports, now located under New > Data Extract)

When Data Extracts is selected, the other Type options are disabled so results stay focused on that report type.

Updated Report Labels

To improve consistency across the search screen:

PO Report now displays as Price Analysis/SJ
Separate line-item report entries are no longer returned as separate results
The Type column may now show additional detail about the type of price analysis performed

Examples may include:

Best Value
Lowest Price
Historical
Market Comparables
Published Price List
Parametric

Filter Window Improvements

The filter window has been cleaned up to remove extra white space
Filter lists support scrolling when there are many values
The modal is more centered and easier to use
For the Author column, the list may populate differently to help users find names more easily

Additional Search Improvements

Data Extract-related naming has been updated in related areas of the platform
Certain expandable row behavior for IDIQ items has been restored
Search results have been improved for Data Extract visibility and related report types

Does this change how reports work?

No. These updates improve how reports are searched, sorted, and displayed, but they do not change the underlying reports themselves.

Tips for Using the Updated Search Screen

Click column headers to filter
Filters are now built into each column, if something looks like a header, it’s likely clickable
Watch for active filters
If results look off or empty, check the filters at the top, something may still be applied
Use multi-select to narrow results faster
You can select multiple values within a filter to quickly refine results
Start broad, then narrow down
If you’re not seeing what you expect, remove filters and reapply them step by step
Check “Type” for more detail
The Type column includes more specific information to help you quickly understand results
Remember filters stay applied
Filters remain even if you leave the page or log out, so double-check when returning Use the Status (✔)
Filter for quick checks
Click the checkmark icon in the column header to filter by Complete, Incomplete, or Finalized
