Automatic collection

Menu Administration > Collection. Collection queries the active sources, normalises the notices and creates the tenders that fall within scope.

Running

Collect now starts collection for one source or all active sources. Recent runs are displayed with their date, duration, number of notices read, created and skipped, and any error.

Connectors

Connector	Sources
worldbank-procnotices	World Bank procurement notices.
afdb-rss, generic-rss	RSS / Atom feeds (AfDB and any portal publishing a feed).
tuneps, ted-eu	Structured portals (TUNEPS, TED).
generic-html	HTML pages whose structure is described in the configuration (selectors).
imap-alertes	Mailbox receiving alerts from a tender service. The connector reads the messages, never the publisher's portal. In test mode it does not mark messages as read.

Recognition

Each notice is matched to a country (aliases and names in all languages), a sector (keywords) and possibly a funder (markers). A notice whose country or sector is unknown, or which already exists (same identifier at the source, or same title and deadline), is skipped with a rejection reason visible in the run. Rules are edited under Settings.

Entry date

The date shown in the radar is that of the first collection that brought the notice in; a later pass by the same connector does not change it.
