Reversed Entry/Form
We received feedback that many of the sections of HMIS Assessments required laborious scrolling to get to the entry form if there were many entries. For example, the user interface displayed the entries above the form. Now, the entries will be displayed below the form. This adds up to a welcomed change, designed to make your life easier. (Special thanks to the Murfreesboro, TN CoC for guiding the development of this enhancement!)
The following sections were updated with this new workflow:
Current Living Situation
Financial Assisted Provided
Services Provided
Referrals Provided
Moving On Assistance Provided (New Section)
