Using the Report
This report has seven tabs, each serving a specific purpose.
Important! If the "Show client names?" prompt is set to "Yes," then the report cannot be emailed (even within agencies) unless encrypted because it contains directly identifying information, nor can it be shared outside of the agency. If the "Show client names?" prompt is set to "No," caution must still be exercised as the information in the report could be used to indirectly identify individual clients.
Summary
These instructions can also be found in the first tab, Summary, of the report. Note these instructions refer to tables that are present on the Summary tab of the report.
Clean-Up Needed
If any data clean-up is needed, make any appropriate changes to the data where accurate data is available. If there are missing elements which cannot be fixed, you will just need to leave them missing. Once you've completed the clean-up, you can then re-run the report using the instructions above following the next BusinessObjects Rebuild.
Note: If you're unsure about how to clean-up data, please contact the helpdesk for assistance. We'll be happy to help!
Step 1 (RRH/PSH/OPH ONLY): Review & Correct Housing Move In Dates
This table lists the number of clients that have invalid Housing Move In Dates, meaning that the move in date is missing, or outside of the project entry/exit dates. On the Current FY Client Detail tab, invalid Housing Move In Dates are flagged in red. If a client is being served by your project, but has not yet moved in, the housing move in date must be made blank upon entry. Review the housing move in dates on the Current FY Client Detail tab and make needed corrections in the client profile. Only clients who were not housed or have not yet been housed should have an invalid housing move in date.
Step 2 (ALL PROJECTS): Review Data on Clients in Current Fiscal Year
- Review the number of persons in each household type in the table below. Ensure the household types below match those served by your project. For instance, there should not be any children showing for projects that do not serve unaccompanied children. Use the Family Type column of the Current Year Client Detail tab to identify clients in the incorrect household type, and make corrections in the client profile. Persons with unknown household types are missing their date of birth.
- One and only one member of each household should be the designated Head of Household. Errors will arise if multiple household members are designated as Head of Household or if no household members are designated as Head of Household. Either of these will flag as an error in the Relationship to HoH column on the Current Year Client Detail tab, and you can also see all clients with HoH errors on the Current Year HoH Errors tab. Make corrections to clients' Relationship to Head of Household in Community Services.
- All clients should have complete and accurate information. Review the following table for DQ Errors and use the Current FY Client Detail tab to find clients with issues. Make corrections in Community Services and re-run the report to check that everything has been corrected.
- All clients should have an Enrollment CoC of WY-500. Review the following table for clients that do not have an Enrollment CoC recorded.
