  1. It would be great if certain HUD reports can be "pre-validated" in Clarity (run against some known HUD validation checks). This could save users time when submitting to HDX (1 or 2) or Sage, if they know right away that there is a problem with their file/report. They would not even have to "waste time" submitting a problem file to HUD but be prompted to fix errors right in Clarity.

  2. It would be beneficial for System Administrators to have access to metadata for Looks/Dashboards/Schedules to better maintain reports and monitor system usage.

  3. When selecting parameters for certain reports like System Performance Measures, there is a small selection box for things like Agencies and Programs. When selecting dozens or hundreds of items in these categories, the selection box is very tedious. If there could be a pop-out window to make selections and not have to scroll up and down so much it would be a better UI. Confirming selections is difficult when you can only see a few at a time. Also, check-boxes rather than shift-select would make this selection process much easier.

  4. Communities sometimes have the need to track Profile screen data and HUD data in other non-HUD specified collection points, which means adding these existing fields to additional screens and being able to report on those additional collection points. Please consider this update.

  5. Use case: many programs have a general email address that is shared across program staff. These shared email addresses are often used to manage referrals to a program to make sure they are addressed as soon as possible.

    Currently, an additional user license would be needed to associate the email address with in order to receive notifications. In this case, the email notifications would be the only reason for the license. Ideally, this functionality would be available without using a user license.

  6. End users would love the idea to filter through notes based on the note_categories field and quickly find the notes they need for their clients.

  7. Allowing providers to assign units at the acceptance of referrals will minimize the administrative burden of connecting an enrollment to the specific unit after enrollment completion. This is particularly helpful in emergency shelters.

  8. It would be helpful to include an inactive description field when a user changes a unit to inactive. Users can include information that the community may need to reference later. For example, referencing this info may be particularly important when preparing the HIC or LSA reports.

  10. Many users in our CoC would like to be able to run a report of the active clients in their projects, particularly Street Outreach or Emergency Shelter, and see the status of these clients in the Coordinated Entry System. The issue right now is that the CES data is owned by another agency, so sharing settings do not allow users to pull both their agency's data and the CES data. This report would be helpful for agencies to know which clients in their projects need to be assessed for the Coordinated Entry System. It would also allow them to support…

  11. There is currently no option to set up auto-placement for manual CE Events as we can for services. It would very helpful for end-user workflows if this could be implemented.

  12. Create a Live Marker to calculate the number of days between the Approximate Date Started and Project Start fields. This will allow us to create warnings for very old Approximate Date Started Dates, and warnings to notify users when the data collected doesn't make sense. For example, if a client's Approx. Date Started is at least three years ago they should have only one episode of homeless according to the data collection instructions in the Data Standards.

  13. It will be great if 'Assessment Measures' only shows data when the field has been answered and not all fields in the assessment that have been selected to be an 'Assessment Measure'. The current visibility is not ideal to case managers as they only need to see the data within the fields that have been answered.

  14. Currently, service items with multiple attendance Delivery Type do not report the same as service items with other Delivery Types (Long Term, Single Event, and Daily Attendance). All service data should be stored and reported in the same manner.

    See the note within [GNRL-104] Service Summary report article as an example, "Note: For the purposes of this report, multiple attendance services are limited to a count of 1 per day in the # of Services column."

  15. A customer has suggested that having a screen or other place to collect sheltered PIT data counts in Clarity for non-participating agencies/programs would be helpful. Rather than needing to collect this data in external places like Excel and then blending with Clarity sheltered PIT data, it would be great to have all the PIT data in one permanent place. This data could then be pulled in to the PIT/HIC reports in the Clarity report library.

  17. Standards organizations such as DirectTrust have been working to specify ways for human services agencies to share securely emailed referrals, for any type of human service. Standards organizations are also working on ways to share service directory information. Clarity Human Services could implement these standards to be a part of this secure referral network, so Clarity users could send outgoing referrals (even outside the HUD Continuum or customer installation). Likewise, agencies could post their available human services and accept/decline incoming referrals, from the trusted external service organizations.

  18. It would be useful to have the following updated and pushed to "Data Analysis" section in the Help Center of the Bitfocus website, every time Looker or SQL Access has been updated:

    • A "Clarity to Looker Data Dictionary" showing all the fields available in all of the Looker models
    • A diagram of how the tables relate in Looker
    • SQL Access fields list showing all the fields available
    • A diagram of how the tables relate in SQL Access

    It would also be helpful to include field descriptions, HMIS metadata, table name, and name.

  19. The customer would like to expand the logic of how the DIT overwrites data being imported to be more than just going by the most recent date in the "DateUpdated" field: "We have several systems that do not collect Race/Ethnicity/Veteran status, and we would hate to overwrite thousands of good quality race/eth/vet records to NULL.... It has been a challenge having to clean it up with each new dump. And cleanup is necessary because these are HUD fields and affect HUD reporting..." Perhaps make the data overwrite process more customizable?

  20. Currently, the family_members live marker only counts households where there are 2 or more people. If there is a single person, the live marker counts zero. We would like the live marker to count 1 in that case. This is important because household size is used for CE assessment scoring and matching. Using the live marker would be the easiest way to maintain.
