Ad Hoc Import Programs to New Cycle |

Quarter 2 2021 – Deployed in Release 4 |
For CASs that have overlapping cycles, sometimes a new program is created late in a cycle and after the other programs are carried forward into the new cycle's Configuration Portal. This enhancement will allow you to select and import those programs so they appear in the new cycle's Configuration Portal. You can then spend less time recreating a program and more time updating it for the new cycle. |
