What changes can I expect?

There will be a few functional changes.

Email Requests

Email to staff@umiacs.umd.edu will continue to be received by staff as normal. You may notice a different template in the response.

Jira Accounts

Your JIRA login will now be your UMIACS username as opposed to your email address for internal users. External requests (or users submitting mail from a different address than their @umiacs.umd.edu) will no longer have accounts in Jira however can still communicate with Staff via email

All order updates will now be sent/received through orders@umiacs.umd.edu. You should start new orders by emailing orders@umiacs.umd.edu, although UMIACS Staff is happy to convert orders sent to staff@umiacs.umd.edu as usual.
