OK so perhaps your Yardi plug-in versions don't keep you up at night, but that's what we're here for. Maybe you don't chant "Residential Toolbox P14, Residential Toolbox P13.9, Residential Toolbox P13.8..." while you're meditating like none of us would ever do (we listen and we do not judge) but it's a great idea to check in once in a while on what versions you're running and if it's time for an upgrade!
What are plug-ins? Great question! Since Yardi has so many modules and so many functions, plug-ins are a way that they enable functionality, push out updates to client systems, implement system fixes, and integrate with vendors. You can see how much impact a plug-in version could have on your users!
You don't have to be plug-in version obsessed, but there's a great step you can take to stay on top of them. Users with appropriate Yardi access can review available release information through their Yardi support resources. Confirm the current process directly with Yardi.
Once your team has current release information, compare it against the plug-ins and versions in your environment. That review helps you decide whether an upgrade belongs in the next maintenance window, a larger testing cycle, or a future planning discussion.
When you're ready to move forward, coordinate the upgrade through your normal Yardi support process and include testing expectations for production and non-production environments.
