Global Referrals Tab: Unit Queue (New Clarity Interface)

This article explains how to use the Unit Queue to refer clients to a specific Unit based on eligibility criteria and availability.

This article is for the new Clarity interface. Screenshots and descriptions will be updated as features are released. For the current interface article, see Unit Queue for End Users.

Table of Contents

Overview

The Unit Queue is available in the new Clarity interface to show available units, determine client eligibility, and reassign referrals to Units/Beds for individuals and households.

For information on configuring the permissions and settings for this function, refer to the Unit Queue article.

Accessing the Unit Queue

To access the Unit Queue, navigate to the Global Referrals tab and select Unit Queue.

Global Referrals Tab Unit Queue

The main content area displays a list of units. 

Each row displays the Unit name/Unit number, Agency name, Program name, Availability, Building Name, and Site Name.

If no units meet your current filter criteria, the system will display the message:

"No available units found."

Filtering Units

The unit list includes robust filtering and sorting capabilities. The available filters are:

  • Agency
  • Date Available: Defaults to today’s date. Selecting a date/time will filter for units available from that point onward.
  • Include Units with Pending Referrals: Set to No by default.
  • Program
  • Program Funding

Unit Queue Filters

For more information on using filters, refer to the Client Record Overview (New Clarity Interface) article.

Sorting Units

Users can sort the list alphabetically by:

  • Availability
  • Agency
  • Program
  • Building

For more information on using sorting, refer to the Client Record Overview (New Clarity Interface) article.

Column Selector

A Column Selector is available for the Unit Queue to support a customized view. The columns available are:

  • Unit
  • Agency
  • Program
  • Building Name
  • Site Name


For more information on how to use column selectors, refer to the Client Record Overview (New Clarity Interface) article.

Availability Logic

The Availability column reflects the following logic based on the Date Available filter. If the unit has an occupancy as of the Date Available and there is an End Date in the future, the Availability column shows Available on [Occupancy End Date].

Unit Queue Availability

If the unit is available as of the Date Available, but has a future occupancy, the Availability column shows Available Until [Occupancy End Date].

Referral Status Overview

On the right side of the screen, a donut widget visualizes the breakdown of referral statuses (Pending, Completed, Denied, and Pending - In Process).

  • Date Range: Defaults to Last 30 days.
    • Additional options are: This Month, This Quarter, This Year, Last Month, Last Quarter, Last Year.

The chart and color-coded legend update automatically when a new date range is selected.

Click the Information (i) icon to hide the Referral Status widget. Click the Information (i) icon again to display it.
