Performing minimum post-upgrade procedures for 20.16.01

If you are using BMC Remedyforce profiles or custom permission sets to manage permissions for your users, you must perform a few minimum post-upgrade procedures after your organization is upgraded to version 20.16.01 (Summer 16) of BMC Remedyforce. However, if you are using out-of-the-box BMC Remedyforce permission sets to manage permissions for your users, you can skip these procedures.

Note

For the complete list of new or updated profile-level permissions in the Summer 16 release, see 20.16.01 profile-level permissions. For the complete list of procedures that you must perform to enable new features that are delivered in the BMC Remedyforce Summer 16 release, see Enabling new features in 20.16.01.

After upgrading to the Summer 16 release, you must manually enable the display of new fields on some existing forms. By default, users can only view the field labels on the form. The following image shows an example of the Service Outage form on which you must enable the display of new fields.
