Components that are not implemented or migrated

When you migrate from FootPrints version 11.6.01 or later to FootPrints version 12.0 or later, a number of components such as address book reports, calendar appointments, and so on are not migrated. 

Refer to the value in the Status in version 12.0 column to understand why a component is not migrated:

  • Not migrated: The component has not yet been added to the migration tool.
  • Not implemented: The component is not yet implemented in FootPrints version 12.0 or later.
  • Discontinued: The component is obsolete and has been discontinued.

Oops, it seems that you need to place a table or a macro generating a table within the Table Filter macro.

The table is being loaded. Please wait for a bit ...
