Overview
This Job Aid provides an overview of the usage of several new UN Fields (i.e. fields that have been added
or customized for the use of United Nations) in the Umoja RFx Form. It also explains how to use these
fields in the SRM Portal and how they appear in the RFx Form output. Please note that this Job Aid does
not cover the whole RFx Form, it focuses on the sections or parts of the document that are
related/impacted by the changes to the UN Fields.
