Prepare for August 2009 ImageNow/WebNow v.6.1.6 Upgrade

08/06/09

Work is underway to upgrade ImageNow/WebNow to version 6.1.6. While there are “look and feel” changes, the basic functionality is the same. No new functionality will be delivered at this time.

UPGRADE TIMELINE
The upgrade will take eleven days and is scheduled for:
-- 5:00 p.m., Friday, August 14 - 6:00 a.m., Monday. August 24
-- ImageNow/WebNow v.6.1.6 available, Monday, August 24

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
-- All users can view existing documents during the upgrade using the current version of WebNow with one exception: 5:00 - 9:00 p.m., Friday, August 14, to allow for completion of pre-upgrade tasks.
-- Please review the 'Change Applets in WebNow' procedure prior to accessing WebNow for the first time for information that can make using WebNow more efficient. View the procedure in My LINC at:

ImageNow Scanners:
-- Please do not scan documents during the upgrade. To do so means that you will have to rescan them after the upgrade is complete.
-- Document Imaging will maintain their regular pickup schedule to allow time to prepare documents for scanning once the system is available.
---- If you need immediate access to specific documents during the upgrade, we suggest you keep them at your location and submit them to us at the regular pickup time on Friday morning, August 21.

ACCESS AND NEW WORK/ENHANCEMENT FREEZE
-- Access freeze August 10 - 24: Requests for ImageNow/WebNow access submitted during this time will be processed after August 24.
