Auto Exit Email Notification
HMIS Projects which utilize the auto exit functionality now have the option to turn on email notification. If this option is enabled, the person who created the enrollment will receive an email prior to the enrollment being auto exited. Projects are able to determine the number of days before the enrollment is closed that the email will be sent.
If you would like to enable this feature for your project, please submit a Project Modification form with the name of the project and the number of days before exit that you would like the email to be sent.
New Date of Engagement Report
HMIS has added a new Operational Report that allows Street Outreach projects to view all client Dates of Engagement. This report shows the dates given in the One-Time-Field section of the client's enrollment, and allows you to see which client's do not yet have a Date of Engagement attached to them.
To find this report, log into HMIS and follow this click path: Reports> Operational > "Monitoring Reports" > Date of Engagement.
