The new list includes retail offices that serve colleges
and universities based on a list provided to district GXG
coordinators. New GXG offices were identified in the Facilities Data Base (FDB). Criteria for new GXG offices are
listed in FDB. In the future, districts will continue to identify
high-potential GXG offices and integrate them into the GXG
facilities database on a quarterly basis.
New GXG offices are scheduled to have received a
GXG Supply Starter Kit by February 14, 2007. GXG On/Off
procedures for new GXG POS ONE sites are as follows:
1. Select <Back Office>.
2. Select <File Maintenance & Unit Settings>.
3. Select <Systems & Unit Settings>.
4. Select <Other Parameters>.
5. Select <GXG Maintenance>.
6. Toggle <Unit GXG On/Off> to change from On to Off
or vice versa.
