NICE Evidence Services Library Bulletin - HDAS Updates; Important Information, Act Now

NICE Evidence Resources Update

Following the launch of new HDAS on Monday 17th October and as part of our plans to support the transition of users over to the new system, users will not be able to save searches in old HDAS from Tuesday 1 November 2016.

_________________________________________________________________________

You are strongly advised to migrate your save searches and alerts as soon as possible. The new HDAS works differently from old HDAS and some searches / alerts may not work and will need to be re-worked in new HDAS. Please give yourselves time to do this.
