      Inventory Model

      Purpose

      The Inventory Model was developed for reporting related to the Inventory functionality in Clarity Human Services. This model was designed for the analysis of Inventory functionality and client information. Within the model, available and occupied units/beds, referral information associated with a unit/bed, and occupancy-connected enrollments information can be easily pulled into a Look for a program, agency, or CoC. The Inventory Model will help Matchmakers review availability for referring clients from the Community Queue to an appropriate unit/bed, System Administrators review current configuration to ensure accurately reported unit/bed counts, and Stakeholders can review counts of units/beds for a CoC by availability to begin community and system-based discussions with a data-driven approach. 

      An overview of the Inventory Model, view/field organization, and an assortment of sample Looks are included in the article below. 


      For more information on Clarity’s Inventory functionality and how to manage your physical housing inventory, please review INVENTORY articles.
