I cannot see which migration window will affect my portal, please can you advise further.
Hi Jenny Baker,
When you are logged into the system you should see a red spanner maintenance icon in the top-right corner.
If you select it, a pop-up should then display the details.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if we can assist further.
Best,
Paul
