  1. Update the Client Privacy functionality to allow for marking clients private even when they are associated with multiple agencies. Currently, this option is disabled if the client has multiple agencies working with them, and there are cumbersome workarounds to get the client data protected when needed. This enhancement should allow us to mark the client private, and then data will be limited to the agencies that are currently working with the client. Our local consent revocation policies state that any previously shared information will still be shared if a client revokes consent, and data will, moving forward, be limited to…

  2. Allow for a filter option in the outreach module map view to either show the clients location based on their most recent geolocation (current functionality), OR show clients everywhere that they have been contacted in a given time period. Currently, encampments often look underreported when they have a population that frequently moves between encampments. Showing all locations will help to correct this.

  3. Allow for custom warnings on services that will prompt for an engagement date. For example, if a service is being provided in an outreach program that would only be provided to clients after they are engaged, the system should prompt the user to confirm if the client is engaged, and if so, record an engagement date. That should update the engagement date on the entry for that enrollment.

  4. Allow for more settings in the setup to prevent clients that are sheltered from appearing on the outreach module map. For example, if a client is currently active in a shelter with regular bed nights, or has a recent current living situation that is not place not meant for habitation, those should be able to be filtered off of the outreach module view.

  5. Combine the process of providing services and recording a current living situation (CLS). Ideally, when providing a service in an outreach program, an additional section on the service would prompt to fill out a CLS assessment. The goal is to make sure that CLS is recorded each time a service is given, and is done on the same page and through the same process to save staff time. The standard CLS process should also be available in case an outreach worker contacts a client without providing a service.

  6. Ability to set up staff prompts during assessments. For example, when starting a new assessment, have a prompt appear that reminds the staff to wear mask, or provide some specific instructions on how to complete the assessment.

  7. While Outreach itself is mobile-friendly, the rest of Clarity is less so, leaving outreach workers with a mixed Clarity experience when collecting client data.

    This includes client search, assessments, program enrollments, services, current living situation, etc.

  8. Please consider fixing this flaw in the software:

    Based on the way the screen appears when one opens automated messages, users can easily assume that they can send a response. My understanding is that these messages don’t really land anywhere; they go into some vortex, thought the sender can see a history in their own message inbox. This is confusing. Users cannot or should not respond to “admin admin” however the interface makes it appear that they could reply and some, in fact, have. Some users have thought that responding would generate a message within the current referral page that…

  9. We are looking forward to be able to have report build in, or shared with us to have analysis on HMIS clarity Data Base frequency accessed and used.

    • What features / pages are users accessing the most? What features / pages are users accessing the least?

    • What are the most commonly-accessed and least commonly-accessed Assessments, Programs, and Services?

    • (I know you mentioned we probably can’t get this data, but I’ll include it here anyway as it is often data that web applications store) What platform is the user accessing HMIS using?

    o Mobile?
     Operating system?
     What browser?

  10. The display constraint for veteran status is built so the question will only display if age = 18 or older. This means the question does not appear for adults that refuse to give a date of birth. We would like a way to populate the veteran question for clients who refuse to give DOB. I created my own workaround for this issue that involved creating a button that hides the veteran status question if the end user indicates "client is a minor" instead of basing the display constraint on the calculated age, but perhaps a better method could be devised.

  11. Currently, multi-select fields are only available to be set up by BitFocus. Instead, system admins need to use multiple checkbox fields for each option. Typically, select-all-that-apply questions have many, many choices (even when those questions are designed well and thoughtfully). This quickly eats into custom field limits and custom field publishing to data analysis (both of which are very bad design elements themselves). Please improve this.

    Planned  ·  Danielle Robadey responded

    Thank you for your feedback. We are in the planning phase of a feature or update related to this item.

  12. Agencies and communities are required to provide redacted client records when monitored by HUD. Currently, agency staff print the reports, cross through client PII, scan reports, and submit them to HUD. Often the redaction is insufficient. It would be very awesome if users could choose to pull client-level reports excluding PII to serve this purpose.

  13. Custom services are great because they can be set on either an agency or system level. This means that agency managers can set them up. This is NOT the case for the new Note categories field, which can only be set in the field editor - and therefore flow across the entire system and can only be set by system admins. This makes no sense. Agency managers are aware of the wide swath of the work that staff do in a much more immediate way than system admins, and need greater flexibility to set these up, rather than a very…

  14. We recently implemented Coordinated Entry, with the policy that only clients who scored higher than a certain threshold (that would be periodically adjusted to match the amount of available housing) would be added to the Housing Queue. After three months, we have many (400+) clients referred directly to the Housing Queue, most of whom do not have scores that meet our threshold score criteria. How can we prevent providers assessing clients from making direct referrals to the Community Queue unless the client's assessment reaches the threshold score?

  15. Create a warning to notify users when they enter a Housing Move-in Date prior to the Enrollment Date. It should also prevent the user from saving the enrollment. The Housing Move-in Date cannot be prior to the client's enrollment date even if it is a PH to PH transfer. This creates an error on the APR. The APR in Clarity categorizes this as not being housed even though there is a recorded housing move-in date.

    This causes problems when trying to troubleshoot the issue.

  16. Applicable to Programs/shelters with multiple bed inventories/contracts. Since it is possible to create multiple bed inventories and multiple bed services (and/or service items), it would be advantageous to be able to link the specific bed service to the respective bed inventory. Alternatively, if continuing with the reservation model with slots, the ability to link a slot to a specific bed inventory. This would allow for direct analysis of occupancy rates and HIC data in Looker.

  18. We wanted to request a feature enhancement regarding audit logs. Our hope is that we would be able to report on a history of changes to client profile data. We would like to be able to identify the fields that were changed, the user that made the changes, and the date that the changes were made. This is currently available to system admins on a limited basis by going into individual client profiles and reviewing an audit log, but it would be helpful to be able to run a canned report or even have a Looker model dedicated to tracking…

  19. It would be handy to have a tool for merging Agencies in Clarity for those times when service providers merge organizations or when we have set up an Agency for a temporary purpose that later needs to be merged into the primary Agency.

    The tool would facilitate the move of services, programs, staff, sharing departments, and sites from a source Agency to a destination Agency. It should also indicate when there are potential sharing limitations resulting from the merge.

  20. While it is possible to require completion of individual fields on Assessments, users can still skip an entire Assessment that might contain important fields, like Current Living Situation.

    it would be great to have a way to require completion of an Assessment within a data collection workflow.
