Future Vision Process

Our legal department has requested the following to be added to our customer view window, also to display the history of the funding if the pencil is clicked next to the E-Rate Indicator.

The reason given is: To remain eligible to participate in the FCCs E-Rate program and track and maintain compliance with the FCC program rules, VZW Compliance and Legal are requesting enhancements to Verizon Wireless Systems.
