Step 1 - Record the Current Package Version

Before upgrading, find and record your currently installed version:

Navigate to Setup > Installed Packages
Search for TargetX_Base
Record your current version number

Note: If your current version is 2511.0, you are on the most recent package and should proceed to the Payment Connector Upgrade.

Step 2 - Check for Custom Object Tab

Navigate to Setup and search for Tabs.
Check to see if you have a Custom Object tab for TargetX Logs.

2. If you DO have the tab, Delete the tab and then proceed to the next step.
3. If you DO have the tab but do NOT have the option to Delete, proceed to the next step.

Step 3 - Install the Upgraded Package

This is your "ending version" (i.e., the version you want to upgrade to). You can select any version that's higher than your current package version. Packages are cumulative, meaning the upgraded package you select includes all features from previous packages. For example, if you're upgrading from Package A to Package D, that package includes all features from Packages B and C.

Navigate to TargetX Recruitment Suite: Admin Group to select and obtain the upgraded package.
Choose "Install for Admins Only."
- Remember to update the appropriate Profiles and Permission Sets if additional security is required.

After installing the upgraded package (i.e., the ending version), you must complete additional configuration steps to ensure all functionality is available.

For example, if your starting version is xxxx.1 and you're upgrading to xxxx.4, you'll need to complete all configuration steps for xxxx.2, xxxx.3, and xxxx.4.
