System update in Domo on Wednesday 16th of January
Domo system will be updated on Wednesday the 16th of January and the system will be out of use for an hour starting 4 p.m. During the downtime it is not possible to accept apartment offers or renew applications so now is a good time to log into Domo system and check that everything is in order.
During the downtime the system will also update the order of the applications made for Miestentie 2 and Jämeräntaival 3 C apartments. This means that the order of the applications will change. Before the apartments were offered, the order of the applications was raffled. Now that all the apartments have been offered, the placement of the applications in the queues will be based on the scoring and the submission date of the application. Therefore your application’s place in the queue can change considerably on Wednesday.
