Frequently Asked Questions

When should I run my Start of Year?
Newton's Start of Year process is recommended after End of Year is complete in all systems and before the start of service for any cafeteria. 

Do I need to be running a particular version to perform Start of Year?
Version number 15.0 or higher is recommended.

I see critical alerts when I log in to the system. How do I handle this?
It is normal to see critical alerts once the End of Year process has been completed.  This occurs because the system's Scheduled Jobs have not yet been completed for the new database.  The critical alerts will clear once the scheduled jobs have been completed (typically at midnight), or you may choose to run Scheduled Jobs manually.

What should I do if I am unsure how to proceed?
If you have any questions or are unsure how to proceed before or during this process, it is recommended that you contact your District's point of contact (POC) for this application. If the District's POC has questions or needs assistance, they should contact Support for assistance.
