Our weekly e-newsletter to providers combines grantee resources, stories of interest, exclusive educational opportunities, and grant information. In this issue:
- The Services page at enrollment level is updated to display a ‘Historical Info’ button for any enrollments that were migrated from a prior grant. When the user clicks ‘Historical Info’ button, an excel document downloads with a list of all prior services entered for the enrollment in the prior grant.
- The Referrals page at enrollment level now displays a ‘Historical Info’ button for any enrollments that were migrated from a prior grant. When the user clicks ‘Historical Info’ button, an excel document downloads with a list of all prior services entered for that enrollment in the prior grant.
- Updated the ‘Home Visit’ page at enrollment level to display the list of home visits and historical home visits in descending order by default.
- For migrated enrollments, automatically discharged all Index-Child Youth who had been discharged previously in the prior grant. This applies to youth who were incorrectly migrated and displayed as active in target contract workflow. The discharge date was entered as ‘9/1/22’ for all discharged records.
- Fixed an issue on Data Collections page where ‘updated by’ name may not have matched the most recent user who made an update.
