QVF Software Version 2.11 Released: A new version of the QVF software was released on Monday morning. This pre-election software release is available to for jurisdictions that may benefit from the enhancements when they print precinct lists for May 3 elections. Jurisdictions that wish do upgrade may do so immediately. We will not require an upgrade until after May 3.
Follow the instructions below to update your software to take advantage of new functionality.

Version Updates:

• When the user selects "Name" in one of the precinct list's User Defined Fields, the module no longer forces the user to select (None) in the other User Define Field. This will allow you to print both the voter's name and school district name in the User Defined Fields.
• Bug fix: The AV modules were printing two ballot labels when issuing ballots to a voter who lives at an address with a pre-direction.
• Bug fix: When the user changed one of the "Registered Between" date edit fields in the Selection Criteria screen of the Custom List module, the calculation performed by the [Count] button was not affected unless the user physically existed the date field.
• Adjusted the software initialization process so Local Report Queue items are automatically deleted from the LOCALREPORTQ table and associated folder when they are more than 30 days old.
• Added a reminder to the Local Report Queue module notifying the user that items stored in the Local Report Queue are kept for no more than 30 days.

Software Update Procedure:

• Make sure that all QVF software is closed (this includes client machines); your replication will fail and/or you could experience data loss if you miss this step.
• Establish a connection to the Internet. Most users will do this via a yellow telephone icon found on your desktop called MichNet.
• Run the QVF Server Manager. This program icon is found on your desktop or under Start-> Programs-> Michigan QVF.
• If you do not see the Michigan QVF folder under Start-> Programs, click on the small double arrow icon displayed at the bottom of your programs list to view the hidden folders.
• After running the QVF Server Manager, you will see a warning message display. Click OK to close that message.
• Click on the Update Server Now button to start the update.
• When you see the message stating your "Server has been updated successfully", click OK to complete the process.
