This short document demonstrates the basics of navigating the Oracle platform.

Enter your user ID and password in the appropriate fields, then click the "sign in" button. Your user ID is the email address you entered when you created your account.

The tasks menu is on the left side of the supplier portal screen. Items requiring your attention and your recent activity are in the dashboard in the center of the screen. Look below the dashboard display to see supplier news.

ORACLE TERMINOLOGY: In Oracle, solicitations or bids are called "negotiations."

Note the items in the "negotiations" section of the "tasks" menu. 1. "View Active Negotiations" is where you view active bids and create responses. *See our instructions to create a search that automatically displays UT negotiations.* 2. "Manage Responses" is where you view your submitted responses, view the status of your responses, and revise your responses.

Let's review one more section of the home screen. Remember you can return to the home screen at any time by clicking the house-shaped icon.
