  1. Customers have asked for the ability to update the status of multiple units at one time (update in a batch). For example, a building and units were set up to prepare for a new building to come online. Units were set to inactive so they would show on the dashboard until the agency was ready to begin leasing up the new building. When the agency is ready to begin lease-up, they need to change hundreds of units to active.

    As a property manager, I want to update the status of multiple units at one time so that I can efficiently…

  2. Clarity doesn't allow the back button on your browser to be used to instantly jump back to the previous page without a form re-submission. It would be great if there was a bar at the top of the page that showed 3 or 4 of the previous pages you were on, that way you could click on one to instantly return to that page.

    For example, if you had been on Client Test 1's Enrollment page, then were on the Agency Overview search page within the launchpad, then were on the Reports section within the launchpad, the top of your…

  3. Please allow downloading or exporting file links. Even though Clarity generates a link that is accessible through a context menu in the Data Table, the URL of the link is not an exportable or reportable value in Looker. My agency is developing an app that would allow navigating to files and audit those files in a more centrallized and faster manner, and the file links are a key feature of this application.

  4. Users will often enroll the incorrect family member as Head of Household then submit a request asking for help when they cannot move the status and enrollment data to the correct family member, leading to a tedious process to fix. This happens most frequently on VA program enrollments.

  5. When using the DIT to import CE events, it is not importing the LocationCrisisOrPHHousing value from the file, and instead imports all values as "imported project". The language on this field in the data standards is "If a client was referred to an opening in a continuum crisis housing or permanent housing
    project, select the Project Name and HMIS Project ID of the referred project."

    What we would like, is to be able to map the values in the CSV file to a clarity programIDs, so that imported data can correctly reflect what's in the external file, and display the…

  6. Allow admin to create their own system live markers - this might provide solutions to all the live marker related improvement requests here.

    Doing so would grant us more freedom over our own systems and and meet the needs / preferences of our CoCs.

  7. When you create a site of type "Standalone Unit", the system creates a default Building called "Standalone Site Building". If you have multiple sites of this type, you cannot tell them apart in the filter. Please update the naming convention to include the site name in some fashion. That puts the onus on us, the customer, to choose distinct Site Names, which I think is appropriate. I suggest "Standalone" + "Site Name", but I am open to other ideas.

  8. As communities develop more complex Coordinated Entry Systems, more flexible referral status tracking is becoming a priority. It would add significant flexibility if system admins could add custom fields to the Referral Screen to capture additional details about referral's status. For example, adding a follow up question to "Reason Denied" to capture an additional layer of detail about why a referral was denied.

  9. There are many agencies who have various programs including Street Outreach. With the new Outreach tool in Clarity, I would have to build another agency of the same name in order to set the Default User Home Screen as Outreach for that specific program. This way, it does not affect other users.

    What I would like to see is have this option to set under the User Setup Screen and not the Overview of the agency. This way when street outreach users log in, it takes them to the outreach tool, while other users still got to the "search for…

  10. when adding a new user, please specify the error when the username is being used by another. i.e. it's being used by another agency or it's inactive and indicate which agency. Currently, the field username gets a red underline but we have no idea what's wrong with it.

  12. We have a "centralized" CE agency and program that all users switch to in order to assess and refer to the CQ. However, there is nothing that prevents a user from referring to the CQ from their home agency after the fact (post assessment). This results in CE not being able to complete referrals and impacts the CE dashboard. It would be great if we could set permissions on what agencies can "send" clients to the CQ.

  13. Currently the Referrals access right allows both the Global REFERRALS tab and the REFERRALS tab in client records. There are multiple use cases where we need users to have access to one or the other but not both of these. We would like to be able to separately assign rights to the referrals tab in client records. Thanks!

  14. When custom fields are added in Clarity Human Services, they are not available to customers with the Customer Data Model (SQL) unless they specifically ask Bitfocus to add them, one field at a time. It would be great if these fields could "automatically" be added and available in the Customer Data Model without having to have a separate request. This automation could occur on a regular daily/weekly/monthly schedule which makes most sense.

  15. For VSPs who use system admins outside of their agency, there are concerns with client privacy based on this line from the database manual.

    "Access to a comparable database is controlled by the VSP. Only staff who work directly with survivors and have a “need to know” professional basis, their supervisors, and agency administrators should be able to view specific client data"

    With this in mind, a new access role for admins of comparable databases using Clarity is being suggested. this access role should allow admins to log into Clarity and pull aggregate reports such as APRs, SPMs, LSA data…

  16. Previously, when our users signed or re-signed their user agreement, the user's first and last name would show and the user would sign, date and save it.

    We just had an issue where one of our users needed to re-sign/update their agreement and instead of showing her first and last name on the agreement, it showed one of her clients first and last name she was last working on in HMIS.

    We had the expression {$CLIENTFULLNAME} on the User Policy Enforcement section to bring in the name of the user who was signing, but according to the Bitfocus…

  17. According to a user in Santa Cruz, they can't e-sign forms using a touchscreen laptop. It requires using a mouse or using an ios or android device. It would be great if they could take advantage of our touchscreen laptops to sign ROI's and other forms directly into clarity and not have to invest in iPads.

    This seems to be an issue with the HTML/script coding of the web page. They found a potential solution here, or at least something to get started https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad.

  18. It would be helpful to be able to select "tags" for a case note. So the worker can pull up notes and find the ones that are tagged for a specific item. Example, they could put in a case note about meeting with a probation officer, and then before the next meeting, pull up all of the notes that are tagged "Probation", or something like that.

  19. Communities want staff to be able to access units and update units' status from the Inventory module (dashboard) without having to change agency access. They feel that if staff have system-level to the module and edit unit status permissions, they should be able to update the status for the units they have access to.

    Communities may have buildings where the agency that provides services changes over time. In these scenarios, they may set up all buildings under one agency to streamline their setup. In that case, the user's home agency may differ from the agency where the building is setup.…

  20. It would be beneficial to be able to customize eligibility criteria within the CQ to fully integrate a complex prioritization matrix as well as program-specific criteria. Dynamic chronic homeless status is critical to sort by within the CQ.
