  1. Before saving a Start Date or End Date, validate the date is a valid calendar date. This could also check for dates recorded prior to 1/1/1915 as noted in HMIS Reporting Glossary. This could also check for dates in the future and give a warning message when the user saves that it is a date in the future to confirm accuracy. This could apply to both enrollments and services.

  2. Can we develop an API that allows pulling data directly and in real-time from Clarity? My agency is developing an internal Python app that generates customized dashboards and reports (for which the Clarity platform itself does not provide enough flexibility). However, in the long run the app cannot rely on downloading Excel files from Clarity every time we run. With a customizable API, we can transform the SQL query from the Data Analysis client model reports to a query for the app, which would allow fewer steps for data management.

  3. Our agencies like it when the clients ID or SS card is uploaded to HMIS. However, this sometimes can be a pain when they do not have a scanner or the means to get that into HMIS.
    Is there any way where if a user has a webcam, they can select the category and file type and take a picture of, for example, a clients drivers license/ID card or Social Security Card and upload that under files for the client?

  4. It would be helpful to have the ability to click and drag to adjust the order of the Subtotal categories. The functionality would be similar to re-ordering elements on screens.

    Currently, the Sub-totals are displayed in the order they are configured. The ability to control this would improve the end user experience and give system admins better control over what their users see.

  5. The ability to toggle additional/all household members in an Attendance Module's scanned services would be incredibly helpful for agencies that provide daily, weekly, or monthly services for entire households; especially when only one or two members of the household are present but the service must be applied to everyone.

  6. It would be helpful to be able to link forms from history. Our CoC has outreach programs that work with clients in encampments. We have forms in our system that outreach workers can complete to assist with homeless certifications. They can fill out the forms in the field, at the client level. When those clients enter an ES program, having the ability to link those client level forms into the program enrollment can assist with the documentation needed to show the client is homeless and with staff completing homeless verification forms with the client. We have other forms we use…

  7. If you answer yes to the veteran status question, and you don't know what year the client entered military service and what year they separated, you have to enter a random year in order to save the veteran status as yes. This is a data quality concern. These should either be changed to not be required, be given a data not collected answer option, or allow for all 0's to be entered as a sign the year is unknown.

  8. We are trying to make our program intake process "paperless", by having staff scan and upload files to the client's enrollment. We want to be able to run a report and verify that all the necessary paperwork has been uploaded. With "Other" so easy to use, it does not work.

    Every file category has a file name which is always available, "Other". It allows staff to enter their own file name. It cannot be removed; it is part of every category as soon as you create it. "Other" is too easy to use. We have literally thousands of "other" files.…

  9. When you input the "Operating Start Date" the system checks for any "Project Start Dates" that occur before the selected date. If they exit, a message appears warning the user they have clients that were served before the selected Operating Start Date. This will also help resolve potential LSA Flag issues due to this conflict in data quality.

  10. Similar to the way that we can map Program IDs or Service IDs when importing a file with the DIT, it would be helpful to be able to map User IDs so that the user who created a client or enrollment record in another database can be tracked in Clarity by linking to existing Clarity user IDs. Then the user can be associated with the Clarity enrollment rather than the file importer or "Admin" when using the DIT API.

  11. Adding the functionality for a referral to be sent back to the CQ when a referral is sent from the CQ to a housing provider that does not result in a HMID and the exit destination is still a homeless category. Allowing referral be return to the queue keeping the history of the original referral, similar to a referral that is denied by a PH provider and sent back to the queue would be very helpful.

  12. According to the Program Setup: Eligibility page it's noted "When establishing eligibility criteria based on Poverty Guidelines, household size is calculated based on the client's "global" household (the client-level household) and is NOT based on the number of members in a group enrollment." It would be extremely helpful if there was an option to allow household size to be determined based on the enrolled household members using the eligibility function and not at the global level. Is this an option BF is looking to add to Clarity HS in the future?

  15. Hello! Similar to how the SSN has a warning pop up before you edit it as core data, could we please implement a feature where custom fields could either be prevented from editing later or require multiple clicks of confirmation before doing so, with some warning text available, to prevent misclicking away something important on the client profile or other screens?

    Thank you!

  16. When creating a service we'd love the ability to set services up so they can only be accessed/tracked/created in the HoH's program only. We have programs that we need to have users only track under the HoH. However, users sometimes forget and will track services under the second adult in the HH or under the children. This causes issues when we are running custom reports that are set to only pull information from the HoH and the services provided.

  17. Users might forget that they are logged into a training site. It would be helpful if there was a banner at the top of the interface to let them know that the site they are on is a training site.

  18. Create a DQ e-mail module that will send e-mails to users when DQ issues are found in records. This module will function similar to the "Annual Assessment" warning e-mails that get sent.

    This might be simpler to implement than an overall system enhancement.

    Some basic alerts can be date related, entry date prior to move-in date, exit date prior to entry date etc.

    Some basic options might be: send daily, send monthly, etc. HUD Only, Custom only, HUD + Custom. Who to alert, etc.

  19. 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.
