Publishing the Scan Factory Client

The Scan Factory client can be published by any developer from their PC, as long as the only changes that need publishing are just in the Client app.  If you need web services releasing please see someone with live server access.

Please be aware you need to check if there are any other changes that have been checked-in that relate to the Client app that may need web services or schema changes publishing.
