We will also walk through the things you should think about to get your account ready for the new year — review your user list, archive data you want to save, check your queries and alerts are up to date, and make sure the date ranges on your regulation sheets are appropriate. We’ll also talk about how the new search by date feature impacts how bill sheets roll over and exactly what will happen on Jan 1.
