Some states have custom plugins available that include specific reports required by the state. These instructions will guide you through downloading and installing custom plugins.

 

 

Warning

Because new releases can take some time to run, MCS Software recommends upgrades be performed at the end of the day and that
no users are logged in during the process.

Info

If there is a report available in WinFSCA and you do not see that report in Newton, please notify us by submitting a case via
the Customer Portal.
