• Working on server and ops upgrades, then will look into SPARC upgrades to more recent versions.

• Recently sent notices to about 150 users (service providers primarily) who have draft requests. Discussed the Unsubmitted Requests features added in a recent SPARC release to help with this that will hopefully reduce the # of users needing to be contacted about draft requests.

• Will start looking to use SPARC surveys & forms for system and service satisfactions and intake forms. Discussed the recent SPARC feature to designate what study user role will get service request surveys, and upcoming similar design for forms.
