30 Software Documentation At the top of every page is a button that can be used to print the web help. Before printing, be aware many of the web helps are numerous pages.

31 Software Releases FlexGen and Zortec software updates can be installed from our website. Emails are sent with information instructions about the updates/releases. Be sure to read the email in its entirety to know all that is involved in the update process. It is recommended that you print that email for reference along with other instructions.

32 Software Releases Currently NextGen, AFAS, TnCIS, CTRIS and other LGC software applications are not using ‘user installed’ updates. Support staff will continue to install those updates for the time being. We do expect to have all updates available for the customer to do in the near future.

33 Software Releases Tips for installing updates - Remember these must be installed on the SERVER. If your office only has one computer that uses the LGC software, you run the installation on that computer. Otherwise, you must access the SERVER to install the updates.

34 Tips for installing updates - MAKE BACKUPS BEFORE beginning. Most offices have backups that they run at the end of the day, so an ideal time for installing updates is first thing in the morning, before work begins. In the rare event of major problems, having a backup is critical to keeping your data safe. Software Releases

35 Tips for installing updates - Make sure ALL users are out of the software completely. This means no one is using any FlexGen or Zortec application. Check “Inquiry only” terminals. Doing this will help the update install quickly and without error. Software Releases

36 Tips for installing updates - Read and Follow ALL instructions. Most of the updates are simple to install, clicking NEXT, but afterwards there is almost always documentation that will print that contains further instructions. Those must be followed completely also. If there is no documentation, we will make a note of that so you should know. Software Releases

37 Tips for installing updates - We know some sites cannot install the updates. We are aware some can not install without a support rep doing it. We will help install those just as quickly as possible. Software Releases

59 Freeline University Online Self-Directed Training Specifically designed for LGC’s NextGen Software Suite. It provides instruction, review, and testing that you can use at your pace, to accommodate your learning style. Each time a new NG product is finished, our Freeline team creates its curriculum and tests, using the actual software, not just some screen mockups or descriptions. Each student will receive an individual login and customized curriculum, based on their position and responsibility. After each test, they automatically receive their scores through email.

60 Freeline University We will now view an example of an actual class.
