&lt;p&gt;What we&amp;rsquo;ve done is upgrade just one of our web servers to the new version. &amp;nbsp;For the next day or two we&amp;rsquo;ll continue doing tests on there, while the other servers are still on the old version. &amp;nbsp;If you would like to test out your screens and use the new version, here are your steps:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://web2.methodintegration.com/method/Login.aspx"&gt;https://web2.methodintegration.com/method/Login.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You may get a certificate warning. &amp;nbsp;This happens because the certificate is registered as www.methodintegration.com, not web2.methodintegation.com.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;strong&gt;Refresh&lt;/strong&gt; when you get to the login form. &amp;nbsp;This should clear out any old version of the login form.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Login like normal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use it like you normally would. &amp;nbsp;Keep in mind this is live data, you are interacting with your real customers and real work orders. You are just using a different version of Method to do it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you want to switch back to the current site, just simply log into &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.methodintegration.com/method/Login.aspx%20"&gt;https://www.methodintegration.com/method/Login.aspx&lt;/a&gt; (notice it is www instead of web2).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Notes for you:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The big difference you&amp;rsquo;ll notice is that the calendars have been upgraded.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There is also an Import / Export tool under&lt;strong&gt; Customize &amp;gt; Integration Tools&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Note, that while the platform has Google Maps in now there if you want to venture into creating your own maps using the mapping actions. &amp;nbsp;You won&amp;rsquo;t, however, see any built-in screens with mapping on them yet, as we won&amp;rsquo;t be pushing those screens out until all the web servers have been updated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We are likely updating all servers tomorrow (Thursday) or Monday at the latest. &amp;nbsp;So, this is time sensitive.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Thanks,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Danny and The Method Team&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
