Today we talked about:

• Testing for new versions - how much testing and by who for a new version. You can use a testing automation platform like Katalon that might help https://katalon.com/

• Outreach mapping - you can map services and encampments; if you want to display that output you can use Power BI, but GIS software like ArcGIS is better.

• Cloning users - is there any benefit to keeping a newly created user inactive for a period of time before activation?

Today we talked about:

• Testing 61. Apparently, 61.1.1 was released at some point...

• Too much HIFIS use! For some service providers and communities, too many Group Activities, Goods & Services, Turnaways prevent those modules from loading. New version has pagination that might help?

• Questions about user roles and rights templates.

Some great topics today and a lot of lurkers 👀

• Service Restrictions - some providers want to use Watch Concerns instead

• Incident reports - what's the value of adding them to HIFIS? What if the fields don't match what are needed for reporting?

• Sharing SPDATs - secondary rights versus using a report

• Supportive/transitional housing again - 3 bad options - Housing Placements, Housing Loss Prevention, or just Housing History

Reminder that we keep a known issues log here: https://hifisfeedback.acreconsulting.ca/
