The changes outlined here will be released to Looker training instances on 05/06/2024 and production instances on 05/20/2024. Deployment should be complete by 8am ET. There may be slight delays when accessing Looker after the release as the system updates are being applied.

LookML Dashboards

The "Inventory - Unit/Bed Availability Overview - UCT Program Linked" LookML dashboard was updated to account for Pending Occupancy units/beds which were not previously included in this dashboard. This change is coming soon in a future release. 

Outreach V2 Model

The Outreach model will be removed in the June release and the Outreach V2 model will be renamed and URL reset to Outreach. In effect, the current Outreach model will be replaced with the Outreach V2 model. All looks currently built with the Outreach model will need to be updated with the new fields available in the Outreach V2 model.

Three new fields have been added to the "Programs" View in the "Outreach V2" Model.  A new group of fields called "Agency Information" with the fields: "CoC Code", "ID", and "Name". 

Project Descriptor Model

A new view has been added to the project descriptor model called "Outreach Settings." This view contains fields about the Outreach Settings connected to a given CoC.
