  1. 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 are the most commonly-accessed and least commonly-accessed Assessments, Programs, and Services?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Password expiration warnings are helpful, but they should specify the site they are for. I have a number of different passwords for a training site, a live site, migration site, etc. and all have different passwords. When I get the warning, it just says "Clarity." Would be much more helpful to know which site needs to be updated!

  15. Password requirements are clearly stated in the Help Center, but when a user is actually selecting a password, there could be more specific feedback on which requirements are not being met.

  16. Please add an overall data quality score % (preferably with a corresponding letter grade; 90-100 = A, 80-89 = B, etc) to the top of the existing [HUDX-225]/[HUDX-225-AD] HMIS Data Quality reports available in Clarity. The denominator of this score would be the sum of all possible data quality issues per table row in the report and the numerator is the sum of all total number of errors identified per table row (all in line with the programming specifications in the HMIS Standard Reporting Terminology Glossary).

    This overall Data Quality % and score would help provide admins, agencies, and end…

  17. Would be great and beneficiary for all clarity users to add to your list of enhancement(s) have Case note report can generate for all clients by program based level. Since there is now in clarity [CLNT-101] Case Notes and it is client by client case report.

    Would be super helpful to have the report designed and published under program based report categories.

    We really appreciate in advance for looking into it and take it in consideration.

  18. Documentation Requirements- Allow for logic/conditions when configuring documentation requirements.

    When configuring documentation requirements for a program, you can only list required documents but do not have the ability to indicate AND/OR conditions. The way it works now, you can add multiple documents but the system thinks that all documents are required. This is problematic because, for some programs, we want to indicate that a driver's license OR a passport is required but the system would think both are required.

    For example, for housing programs, clients would only need to show one form of ID. Either the driver's license or a…

  20. Some agencies operate programs across multiple HUD CoCs; the agency can only be assigned to a single CoC, but its programs can be assigned to multiple CoCs. Access to a CoC's Coordinated Entry Community Queue is based on the CoC assigned at the agency level, not the CoC(s) assigned at the program level. This prevents programs that operate in other CoC(s) to view the Community Queue(s) for the CoC(s) they operate in.

    If an implementation has their Coordinated Entry Type set to "Continuum of Care Based" in their system settings, they should be able to allow agencies that operate programs…
