LATEST TIER UPDATES

New Functionality with TIER 9.0 exe

In addition to more functionality and upgrades, 9.0 exe has an improved implementation process. In an effort to streamline the upgrade process, the SQL scripts have been combined in one executable called the TIER DB Upgrader.  This executable will apply specific scripts based on the version of your current executable.

In addition to the DB upgrader, the executable deployment options have undergone redesign.  For the 9.0 executable, three different choices for deployment to end users are available.  These executables include Crystal run time 11.5, ODBC Driver, Topaz signature, as well as the 9.0 executable.  Refer to the TIER 9.0 Upgrade instructions for information as well as descriptions for applicability.

  • Update the version the exe uses when exporting grids to Excel
  • Ability to reset TIER screen size and position by starting TIER® with Shift key down
  • Implement monthly tables for Error Log functionality

It’s important to note that this version was introduced for TIER’s Meaningful Use Phase 3 certification; this version or higher must be used in conjunction with the MU3 Certification features. Please contact your Client Alignment Executive with questions!
