New - Data Import Tool: Assessment Screen Mapping Improvements
New - Data Import Tool: Assessment Screen Mapping Improvements
Since HUD XML and CSV formats do not include information on pinpointing the type of screen and how to import client Assessment records, there is no definitive instruction to say some Assessment records within a single file should be imported as one type of Assessment Screen, while others should be imported as another.
Because of this, our DIT has historically allowed a user to designate a single default value to import all Assessment records. Understanding there are cases where a user will have a single file that contains records for multiple Assessment Screens, the DIT is now updated to support these cases.
