SP5 Testing and Client Update:
As a reminder, please have your staff test SP5 so we can verify that things
work as needed prior to the Symphony 3.4.1 SP5 upgrade scheduled on Monday, August 18th through Tuesday, August 19th. Please contact the CCS Computer Room staff for the test server URL if you need it. The same functionality we were expecting to load in SP3-4 is what should be tested.
Please contact the CCS Computer Room staff for the Dropbox URL to download the full SP5 client. Be sure to load the SP5 client on a stand-alone (test) machine to avoid losing your current (production) functionality.
