	You MUST make sure that ALL users are logged out of Orion before starting to upgrade/update the system Not Hosted Sites: The Orion application MUST be closed/logged off from from each PC/workstation. An extra step to ensure updates complete without any issues is to shut down all workstations. Citrix hosted sites: You MUST close the application BEFORE closing the citrix connection. Orion is still open and has a connection to the database if this isn't done and the update WILL NOT HAPPEN without errors

Intro                   

We have an internal development register where customers requests and ideas are managed, prioritised and scheduled to create a bundle of work that is released as a product update. 

These updates can contain new features, tweaks to existing features and bug fixes.

It is very important that these updates are run on your system at your earliest convenience to keep you up to date with all the new features and bug fixes

Using this Function

Orion will automatically check what version and release number you are currently on and then display a reminder to update when logging into the system.
