- [GNRL-212(-AD)] Profile Details Report, [GNRL-210(-AD)] Assessment Details Report, and [GNRL-220(-AD)] Program Details Report were updated to standardize field type handling across all three reports. Field Type: Hierarchy Select - Continuum Project List now returns the program name instead of the ID, and Field Type: Location was updated to align with the Clarity Human Services interface.
- [GNRL-405] CE Assessing Staff Report was optimized to resolve an issue where the report could time out or fail to generate under certain conditions. Users should now experience significantly faster report generation. Additionally, label terminology within the report has been standardized for consistency.
- [STFF-101] Staff Activity Report was updated to ensure successful report delivery when the report output format is set to Excel, and there is more than one tab with the same Staff Name, by utilizing Staff ID along with Staff Name to create a unique tab title.
- Chronic Homeless at Point in Time Logic Discrepancies in the HMIS Reporting Glossary were identified, allowing clients entering a program on the first of the month to experience a double-counted month toward Chronic Homeless status at a Point-in-Time for certain project types (Emergency Shelter – Entry Exit and Safe Haven). We have informed HUD of this ambiguity in the documentation, received guidance on anticipated calculations, and updated the Chronic Homeless at PIT calculations to ensure accurate logic is applied.
