SWAN Member Library Staff:
Reminder: our Symphony Production server will be upgraded to version 4.1 this evening.
During the upgrade 'My Account' features, SIP2/WebServices, and other related services will be unavailable.
Our upgrade is scheduled to begin shortly after 11PM and will conclude early morning Thursday July, 18. While we do not anticipate the required use of Offline Mode or downtime during business hours, please wait for the 'All Clear' SWANcom to arrive tomorrow morning before accessing WorkFlows.
A new WorkFlows 4.1 client installer has been made available on the SWAN Support Site: https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64760. There is no imperative to install the new WorkFlows client before the Symphony 4.1 server upgrade. Once your staff workstations have been updated, please have your library submit the 4.1 Installation Survey: https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/xrjnthywxm/index (one submission per library, please!)
For updates and more information on Symphony 4.1 features and updates, follow our news post: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2024-07/94652.
Any questions or concerns? Please send a support ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net and a member of the support team will be in touch.

Just a reminder that our Symphony Production server upgrade is scheduled for Wednesday, July 17th at 11:30PM. The installation process will take a couple of hours, with our regularly scheduled reports running after the upgrade has been completed. While we do not anticipate any downtime or required use of Offline Mode during library hours, please wait until the 'All Clear' SWANcom is sent before accessing WorkFlows Thursday morning.
Staff clients do not need to be upgraded prior to Thursday, July 18th. The 3.7.1 client will continue to work; however, new features will be unavailable until the client is updated. Please see our Support Site for WorkFlows client downloads and setup documentation<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64760>.

Good afternoon:
We will be rebuilding our authority indexes over Independence Day. Please refrain from accessing Workflows after 9 PM Wednesday, July 3 through Thursday, July 4th. We anticipate that this will have little to no impact on service since it is occurring over the holiday. We will send an all clear message when you can resume normal work functions.
Absolutely no cataloging may occur during reindexing, including: updating, adding, or deleting of bibliographic and item records.
We will update the post on the Support site<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2024-07/94651>.
