To all Focal Pointers,

Effective as of today (Tuesday, October 28, 2008), the signature field with the following information will be required for all new registrations:

1) What version of WebFOCUS are you using?
2) What platform/operating system are you on? i.e. Windows, Unix, etc.
3) What output format(s) are you trying to create? i.e. Excel, HTML, PDF, etc.

The purpose of the signature field is because many of the questions are related to the version/release of WebFOCUS and platform you are using, providing this information will definitely help the community better understand the problem and therefore get a solution quicker.

For those already registered and approved but still missing the signature field, please kindly go into your profile and update your signature as soon as possible.

For those already registered but did not get approved before October 24th, please send your signature info (and other required info, if asked) to focalpoint@ibi.com before Thursday, October 30, 2008. Provided no response is heard on or before this coming Thursday, your profile will be deleted from the system and you will need to re-register.

Moving forward, new registrations missing the proper signature information will not be approved.
The process will be:
- After you are registered, we will send you a reminder email stating what required information is missing from you, e.g. name, company, occupation, and/or signature field, then will give you one week to respond.
- If we still do not hear from you in the dedicated period of time (indicated in the reminder email as well), your registration will be deleted and thereafter you will need to re-register.

Focal Point has been a growing and great resource for help, idea sharing, and many others. I would like say thank you to all guru’s endless effort and help, as well as everyone’s cooperation and understanding. As always, questions, suggestions, comments, and ideas are always welcome! Please feel free to send Kathleen Butler or myself a private message.

Cheers,

Kerry
