What’s NEW for CBISA™ (April 2022)
Close Read Me
 
Welcome, Freshmen!
  • Department Import - Phase One is HERE!
    We’ve added a feature enabling you to import departments into an empty Department table, or to append an existing table with new Departments. It works in much the same manner as our Financial Services Import feature, and full instructions can be found by clicking HERE!
Welcome Back, Sophomores! – April 2022
  • “Update” is a heavier term than you need when you’re just trying to save an entry and move on with your life. So now, when you need to save, click Save and do just that! The location, color and function of the button remain the same – only its verbiage has been… well… updated
  • Select Delivered Defaults Are Now Editable
    The sub-labels in place upon delivery for the Ages, Settings, Formats, and Vulnerable Populations Defaults screens can now be edited, providing more flexibility when customizing CBISA™ for your organization.
  • Pending Occurrences Can Now Be Moved
    Pending Occurrences can now be moved from one Program to another prior to importing. Multi-Unit users can also move them to a different Reporting Unit.
  • Finance and Multi-Finance Users Can Now Multi-Delete Occurrences
    Like System Administrators, Coordinators and Multi-Coordinators, Finance and Multi-Finance users can now delete multiple Occurrences simultaneously, saving time and clicks when several Occurrences need to be removed quickly. Please note: a warning message will appear when deleting three or more, just to make sure you MEAN it!

Departments Updates!
  • Unused Departments Can Now Be Made Inactive
    Departments can sometimes come and go. Over time, as more defunct Departments pile up and more new ones are added, an organization’s Departments page can easily become bloated as a result – until now! As has already been the case with Programs, Departments can now be made inactive (and reactivated) to allow users to view them more easily and manage them more efficiently. Once inactive, they are displayed in orange to help distinguish them from active Departments.
  • Department Number Field: Not Just For Numbers Anymore!
    The Department Number field now accepts characters of all types (letters, numbers, symbols) to permit full coordination with users’ internal Department naming structures. Included in this functionality is the long-awaited freedom to begin Department Numbers with zeroes!
  • Department Number Now Included in Department Field Display
    Department fields in Programs and Occurrences screens now include both Department Names AND Numbers, and their drop menus are now sortable by name or number, in ascending or descending order.

All of the Above, and STILL More New Reports!
More new reports continue to be added. Take a peek and check ‘em out! (Especially in Statistics and Multi-Unit reports – a drop arrow is available at the bottom of each to provide access to their full lists of report options.)

Good to See Ya, Juniors! – February 2022
  • Finance Users Empowered with Enhanced Functionality
    Finance Users now able to import pending Programs and edit the IRS Reportable checkbox, as well as import and edit Occurrences.

    The Gender field on the Occurrences page has been expanded to accommodate two added options: Transgender and Non-Binary.
  • Continuous Reporting Unit Option Added for Multi-Unit Reports
    This option enables Multi-Unit Users to print select reports for individual reporting units on separate pages rather than combining the data into a single report. The feature is available for the following reports:

    2. Multi Complete Summary Classified
    3. Multi Executive Summary
    4. Multi Executive Summary 3 Year
    1. Multi Summary of Community Services

  • "Area of Need" Added to Community Needs Module
    New field added to Community Needs module to facilitate more consistent Multi-Needs reporting. The field’s customizable dropdown menu options are created and managed by selecting Areas of Need from the Defaults menu.
  • Reporters Can Now Be Given Read-Only Access to Goals Module
    New checkbox added in Reporter Users page which grants optional access for Reporters to "View Goals Module (read only)".
  • Listed Order of Defaults Menu Has Been Updated
    Options in Defaults menu are now displayed in more logical order that more accurately reflects the pattern in which they are most practically used.
Sheesh, You Seniors Are Still HERE? – July 2021
