DRAFT / Notes to self as going through process, will update/revise/beautify for web later (starting with July update)
When SFX sends out a notice on the SFX-DISCUSS list that an update is ready:
- Jen forwards the notice email to edit-sfx, with note that she will/has download(ed) the full release notes from the SFX documentation portal into the R:/SFX/Documentation/Release Notes folder; and points any news of interest.
- Jen downloads the release notes
When Rich announces that the update has been done:

what to do with each report? open each in excel
detail procedure for each kind of report:
NOT CHANGED
Target Service
look at ACTIVE targets first
look at first column: Suggested change which notes what field was not changed
look at column noted above; the data in that field is what is in SFX now - it may or may not be what should be there (because was already updated locally)
how to find out what it should be:
1. Call up target service window in SFX
2. Look in the release notes (PDF or spreadsheet, whichever is easier) - find the target and what was changed.
3. For target service, the change is usually the PARSER or the PARSE_PARAM -- compare the two sources.
4. if they are the same, no action needed. if they are not, copy what is in the release notes and paste into the SFX window.
5. check a title or two to make sure the change works
6. you may need to update something in U/P fields; consult the TARGET Configuration document for help.
