This month there were three topics that made it to the top of the list: –Internet Explorer compatibility issues with ServicePoint –Bad data in history fields affecting reports –Missing data errors on reports after being entered HelpDesk FAQ’s of the month

We’ve developed two short videos that will assist users with the “white screen” issue when saving information in ServicePoint. Internet Explorer Compatibility Tutorial Internet Explorer Rollback Tutorial: EjCzum6CM&hd=1 EjCzum6CM&hd=1 Internet Explorer compatibility issues with ServicePoint

Example: Adult shows up as a child on a report due to an incorrect DOB being entered at Entry. Staff corrects the DOB and the same error shows up on the reports. This happens because the incorrect DOB is still present in the History field of the data element in question. Bad/Junk Data in History Fields

Click the H next to the field in question (ex. DOB) and delete the incorrect DOB leaving behind the correct data only.

ENTRY/EXIT Programs: Missing Data has been entered but the error still appears on the reports. This error happens when the data missing at Entry is entered via an assessment and not the client’s Entry record. If data is missing from a client’s record, it must be entered via the client’s Entry record (click on the orange “Entry/Exit” button and the pencil next to “Entry Date”) so that it can get saved in correlation to the client’s Entry date. HelpDesk FAQ’s – Missing Data

Shelters & Service based Programs: This error happens when the data missing at checkin is not backdated and saved for a date AFTER the client has been checked into your program/given service transactions. Remind staff to always remember to backdate missing data when correcting your data quality reports. HelpDesk FAQ’s – Missing Data
