It is time to upgrade PRODUCTION Polaris software to version 7.7. Maintenance is scheduled for Monday, January 6th with the start time slated for 6:00 am CST; however, work could begin earlier so please STAY OFF PRODUCTION until we send out the “all clear” message. PAC, LEAP, Simply Reports and Remote Client will be unavailable during the upgrade. Authentication for databases and access to OverDrive will also be unavailable during that time.
Maintenance can take several hours (“done by noon”) but realistically we expect to have the system upgraded, verified and available for your use by mid-morning. Please watch for emails from ODIN Staff. For What's New in 7.7 please check III documentation portal page for details. The document is also attached here for your convenience.
You can watch the Polaris What’s New in Polaris 7.7 webinar that was held November 20th. Highlights include a split screen MARC editor for editing multiple bibliographic records, additional technical services workflows in Leap and several enhancements from the first round of MEEP voting.
For those libraries who wish to use offline circulation during this period, please verify it is installed on the PC used for circulation. You may also want to review the documentation and video for offline circulation on the ODIN website found at https://www.odin.nodak.edu/training/circulation/offline-circulation-leap.
As always if you have any questions or problems, please submit a Help Ticket.
