Fresno, California – A new version of the Human Resources Management Software is now available containing the updated IRS Schemas for the 2017 1095-C Electronic reporting. Before generating any electronic 1095-C files for 2017, have your IT professional log in to your server and open the HRM program. Once open, go to the Tools menu and select the ‘Check for Updates’ option. You should then get a message similar to the one shown here.

Your version may begin with the number ‘7’, and the update may be shown as Version 7.84.484. This difference between 7 and 8 only represents which version of Dataflex you are currently using. Eventually all users will be migrated to Dataflex Version 8. Either one will contain the updated IRS Schemas. The Operator should click the ‘YES’ button to view and print the Release Notes. The following window will appear.

 

Click the ‘PRINT’ button to print the Release Notes. Then Click the ‘DOWNLOAD’ button to download the update. When the download is complete the installer will try to start the installation process. However, you may get a message similar to what you see here.
This indicates that the installation of the update cannot proceed until all users of any open Datatech programs have closed the programs running on their workstations. Once all Datatech users have closed their programs, click the ‘OK’ button to proceed with the installation. Answer all questions the installer asks affirmatively, and make sure you apply this update ‘For all users of the program’.
Once the installation wizard has finished, open the HRM software on the Server or main computer and choose the first company file shown that is licensed for the HRM software. If you only have one company file, a list may not be shown when you open the program. But if you have multiple company files, you will need to open each company file that is licensed for the HRM software in order to apply the update to that company file. After you finish opening the first company file, close the program and open the next company file to apply the update to that company. Once all company files have been updated, all users may reopen the Datatech programs on their respective workstations.
