System Administrators have the option to include custom fields in a Data Analysis model. Please be aware that once the system publishes a field to Data Analysis, it cannot be removed. Proceed with restraint.
The Result of Publishing Custom Fields
When a system administrator publishes a field to Data Analysis, the system organizes the field in the Data Analysis model based on the screen type the system administrator adds the field to. For example:
- Profile Screen
The system publishes fields in a Profile screen to the Static Demographics Custom view. - Program Enrollment Screen
The system publishes fields in an Enrollment screen to the Entry Custom view. - Program Status Screen
- The system publishes fields in a Status screen to the Status Update Custom view.
- Program Exit Screen
The system publishes fields in a Program Exit screen to the Update/Exit Custom view. - Program Follow-up Screen
The system publishes fields in a Program Follow-up screen to the Followup Custom view. - Assessments Screen
The system publishes fields in an Assessments screen to the Client Assessment Custom view.
Wherever the system includes these views in a model, it includes the "custom" version of the view, if the system publishes custom fields to that view. For example:
- HMIS Performance includes all of the above custom views.
- Coordinated Entry includes all of the above, except Status Update Custom, as of this writing.
- Services only include Client Assessment Custom and Static Demographics Custom.
Data Analysis displays the field name for custom fields published to Data Analysis using the Field Display Name from Field Editor.
