New Feature and Fixes Released 8/3/2018

Posted on by

NEW FEATURE

We’ve made some improvements to the Preferences section under the Main Admin’s Setup

EMAIL VERIFICATION

  • We’ve received some requests to make the email verification a function that can be turned on or off so that guardians aren’t receiving automated messages when you first enter their information.
  • In “Guardian Fields to Display”, the first in the list is Email verification where you can now control.
  • Everyone’s account has the function turned on. So if you no longer want email verifications to be sent, then set it to ‘No’.
  • IMPORTANT: If you are using the “Send email” feature at all, email verifications should be set to ‘Yes’.

FAMILY / GUARDIAN ASSESSMENTS TO DISPLAY

  • The list of assessments has been growing. You can now control which ones you want to see in that list.
  • In Preferences, we’ve added “Family / Guardian Assessments to Display”. Only have those assessments you are using set to “Yes”.
  • NOTE: Only the assessments set to “Yes” will show in the list when adding a new assessment and the Assessment Reports section.

Each section in Preferences is now expandable and collapsable. Hopefully, this will help reduce the amount of scrolling as we continue to add more controls for you.

OTHER UPDATES

HFA LEVELS – The new levels and weights have been updated for all HFA programs.

CUSTOM REPORT ACCOUNTS – The start date default can now be set by you! Go to Profile > Set Start Date for Reports. The end date will now default to the current date.

SITE/FUND CODE – The Site/Fund Code is now fully editable. Any incorrect entries can be fully edited or deleted in the history table at the bottom of the Guardian Data page.

FIXES

APR Section II #12 – The issue with prenatals being counted in this section has been corrected.

Child Health Record Immunizations – “Immunizations Current as of” field on the Child Data page is now updated by the “Immunizations up to date” information on the Child Health Record.

Child Exit Report – The Exit Report for exited children is now functioning correctly.

Emailing Invoices

Posted on by

A new automated Invoicing feature has recently been released. All Program Admins now have an Invoices section under Setup listing all invoices. The most recent invoice will be listed at the top. In many cases, you need to send that invoice on to someone else that will handle the payment. Here’s an easy way to email it to that person.

EMAILING INVOICES

GO TO “SETUP” > “INVOICES”

  • Only the Program Admin has access to the Invoices section

INVOICES PAGE

  • The most recent invoice is listed at the top
  • Click on the email icon highlighted on the right
  • Be sure to click the email icon for the Open invoice. This will always be the top invoice.

SEND THE INVOICE

  • After clicking the email icon, a pop-up window will open
  • Type in the email address of the person you want to send the invoice to
  • The invoice will be attached to the email sent and indicate that you are the one that sent the email

Hopefully this new feature adds efficiency and convenience for you. Let us know if you have any questions.

Licensing Agreement Finalized with PAT

Posted on by

Visit Tracker Web and Parents As Teachers have finalized a licensing agreement which allows our Users to build PAT Records in Visit Tracker.

This license will ensure that you can use Visit Tracker as your chosen database to demonstrate how your program follows the essential requirements of the PAT model and the Quality Assurance process.

As changes are made to Essential Requirements and model fidelity standards, Visit Tracker will work with Parents As Teachers National to ensure that we understand what those changes are and incorporate them into Visit Tracker Web.

We look forward to continue serving you.

Visit Tracker Web to make changes to MO Invoice Report for FY2014

Posted on by

Visit Tracker Web home visiting software is currently working on some changes to reflect updates to the state of Missouri’s DESE Invoice report.  Here are some changes to the Invoice report:

  • Non High Needs families will have access to 12 family personal visits instead of 10.
