[Tech-l] FW: FYI - Library Software WorkFlows Update 11/9-11/10

[Thor Sage]

Good morning,
For those districts consuming INFOhio library automation, please see the below and attached information.  Depending on how workstation security is being handled in your district, your media specialists and/or library aides will need assistance upgrading software.  This is just a heads up in case you have not heard anything about the upgrade.
Thank you,
Thor

Subject: IMPORTANT: WorkFlows Update 11/9-11/10. PLEASE READ * ACTION REQUIRED

Good Moring Library Staff,

As mentioned earlier in the year, INFOhio is in the process of updating the WorkFlows client software to version 4.0.  You will not notice any changes on the user side of the program.  The changes being made are related to the server, Symphony 4.0 which WorkFlows is written in.  This upgrade will allow for faster and improved processing time, ability for more programing in BLUEcloud and other enhancements on the backside of the program.

All MVECA districts will be upgraded to Symphony 4.0 starting on 11/9 at 3:30pm
and continue all day on Friday, 11/10.
USING WORKFLOWS WILL BE AVAILABLE DURING THIS UPDATE TIME,
HOWEVER, YOU MUST USE WORKFLOWS IN OFFLINE MODE.


The directions for using WorkFlows in offline mode are attached.  Once WorkFlows is back up and running (starting 11/11/23) any work you completed in offline mode will sync up with the server copy of WorkFlows.   Users will still be able to use WorkFlows during that time, just in the offline mode. Prior to 11/9 make sure you have the option to select "Operate in Offline Mode".

AFTER 11/13/23 -  Starting on Monday, November 13th users will need to upgrade the WorkFlows software to version 4.0. Many library staff members do not have administrator rights to their computer to install/update software, in that case you will need to get your Technology staff involved. I recommend contacting them now to schedule time for this update on 11/13/23 or soon after. The document attached will give your Technology staff everything they need to perform the update.

If you or your technology staff have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out me at helplibrary at mveca.org<mailto:helplibrary at mveca.org> or (937) 767-1468 Ext. 3130.

Thank you,
