Lacerte RSS News Feeds
New for TY13!

RSS News Feeds in the Lacerte program which can target information at the module
and state level for news and issues of interest that don’t rise to the level of a Critical
Alert which will ping all clients. For example, a News Alerts for New York Individual
will only appear to clients with that module installed.

Distinctive Appearance

Lacerte News Feeds will appear in the program as a blue
bar which also indicates the number of News Alerts
available. Critical Alerts will continue to appear as a
yellow bar.
Lacerte Diagnostics Info and Alerts
Diagnostics will provide additional information to help you
resolve critical errors even faster!
