  1. 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.

  2. Add an auto save (example auto save every 2 minutes) function for Clarity notes. Reason for needed feature; in a fast-paced client environment where ringing of phones, walk-ins and appointments- easily distracted while inputting notes. Clarity closes out without saving notes. Feature will auto-save notation before Clarity closes out.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.…

  6. We would like to be able to see in the stand alone looker which reports have been published to Clarity, the last time they were viewed, and be able identify which reports use specific fields as they change and/or become obsolete so that we can identify looks that are going to break.

  7. The Agency Overview (AO) screen is not included in the list of screens accessible to Admins through the System Setup workspace. Not being able to view the screen means admins cannot see the relationship between questions and fields for reporting purposes.

    Similarly, I noticed two other places where the omission of the AO screen appears to have an impact:

    1) Fields unique to the AO screen do not appear in the Field Editor list;

    2) Questions and Fields unique to the AO screen do not appear in the Question and Clarity Fields views, respectively, found in the Project Descriptor model…

  8. The fields from the Agency Overview screen are mostly stored in the Project Descriptor model of Looker under the "Agency" view. However, not all fields from that screen are represented, and they don't appear to exist anywhere else in Looker.

    Can the fields associated with the following questions from the Agency Overview screen be added to the Agency view in the Project Descriptor model?

    • Navigation Profile
    • Default User Home Screen
    • Dashboard
    • Open Units Report
    • Staff Inventory Access

  9. When staff are manually deactivated, it would be great if the system automatically generated a report with the staff person's client list. You cannot run the canned report for the client list if the staff is deactivated. And sometimes clients are not re-assigned after staff turnover.

  10. Would it be possible to add the ability to filter by OR statements in a Dashboard, specifically something like "if the client checked yes to question 1 OR checked yes to question 2, show them in this filter"? We can do this at the individual Look level using a custom dimension, but for dashboards where we need to quickly enable or disable such a filter for 25+ looks at once for data analysis this could present difficulties.

    While we could do individual pulls one at a time, if the question is "how many individuals said yes to one of these…

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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…

  14. Hello! Our program has work we do in the community with people that we serve but don't technically become clients officially (and thus we can't collect certain information on them in the client profiles). Sometimes we host workshops or public education, and sometimes we serve anonymous clients such as via a hotline. It would be great if a program could be designated as a "general" program or something similar, where you can perform an assessment or screen that is tied to the program but not tied to a specific client. Could this be done?

    Currently we're using a workaround of…

  15. We have had a recurring situation where the following takes place:
    1. Client has a “no” ROI recorded by Agency A with no end date (but has an unlocked profile)
    2. Client begins working with staff at Agency B and gives consent/signs ROI
    3. Staff at Agency B try to record this “yes” ROI but cannot; it throws an error for the ROI start date because there is no end date for the previous “no” ROI.
    Staff at Agency B cannot edit and add an end date to the “no” ROI because it was recorded by Agency A.
    Currently when…

  16. Would be great to have an app version of Clarity that could be used for the PIT and other project enrollments and updates that take place in the field. Another alternative would be updates to the outreach module that would allow users to add assessments or project enrollments.

  17. Providers are entering CE assessments under closed CE enrollments, referring those assessments to the CQ, then wondering why their clients are not coming up for CES referrals. There's no error message or alert to keep people from entering CE assessments under a closed enrollment. Can there be?

  18. Currently, Inventory screens are system-level screens that cannot be copied. For a statewide instance of Clarity, each CoC operates as a separate system. Each CoC manages its housing stock, they have separate CE systems, and reporting is completed by each CoC.

    Each CoC may want to implement Inventory but need to record different information using custom fields on the housing inventory screens.

    Since the Inventory screens cannot be copied, each CoC would either need to agree on a set of custom fields, see each other's fields, or use complex constraints and configurations to hide the fields from each CoC, making…

  19. 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.

  20. This is a super small suggestion, specifically to change how the pager numbers are styled. As of right now the "li" item has styling code of

    .pager-container .pagination li {
    float: left;
    width: 15px;
    padding-right: 8px;
    }

    and then the actual link ("a href" has no padding or width. This makes it really hard to click the page number. My proposed fix would be this:

    .pager-container .pagination li {
    float: left;
    min-width: 23px;
    text-align: center;
    }

    and the "a" value would be something like:

    .pager-container .pagination li a {
    padding: 7px;
    }

    This way the clickable area of the link…
