New Look-up Table Values

I noticed when looking through Look-up Tables in my recent version of HIFIS (I'm on 60.4) that there's a whole bunch of new Look-up Table Values that previously did not exist in HIFIS, and when they were added (perhaps in 60?), they did not automatically get subscribed to any service providers. They might be interesting to check out.

There's new values in the following tables:

  • Activities (Services) (for example, Hoarding Assistance, Rent Subsidy)

  • At Risk Status (for example, Hidden Homelessnes…

Updating to 60.4 is slow

Change in VI-SPDAT saving behaviour

Hey y'all, I just found out that in version 60+, when you're doing a VI-SPDAT, it no longer requires you to answer all the fields. Previously if you didn't answer all the fields and hit save, it would give you a pop-up telling you you had to answer them all. And it wouldn't calculate anything. Now it looks like it does in fact calculate. However, it seems to default to assuming you answered "No" to all unanswered questions.
