UPDATE: Phone Notifications Resolved

Submitted by Elizabeth Smith on January 13, 2022 - 10:32am

Information: Phone Notifications – No Action Required

It appears that the issue with phone notifications has been resolved. The systems (Sierra & iTiva) communicated a file late last night and again this morning.

This morning’s file appears to be standard in size – so probably only contains today’s (1/13) notifications.
