Ability to create a new shift when the existing shift is "Canceled by Caregiver."
When a Caregiver cancels or calls off from, their shift, you now have the option to mark the shift as "Canceled by caregiver" and the system will ask if you would like to create a new open shift with the same attributes and in "Scheduled / Open Shift" status.
This allows you to view both on the calendar - one as in "Canceled by Caregiver" and the other one as an Open Shift. The big benefit here is that A) You don't have to lose the history of the Caregiver canceling, and B) You can save on clicks!
Ability to edit multiple schedules at once from client and caregiver schedule calendar.
You already have this feature on the Schedule Calendar and Open Shift Calendar. Now you can Edit Multiple Schedules from the Client’s and Caregiver’s respective calendars as well. This allows you to easily perform selective updates of information in a recurring schedule, for example, if the times change for just one day of the week.
Ability to download client(s) calendar in bulk.
On the Client Search screen, if you select one or more Clients, you can now Download Client Calendars in bulk. From the Client Search screen, you can select one or more Clients to see a “Download” icon. Select a Month and Year, after which individual calendars for each selected client will be generated and a .zip file will be downloaded.
Change in Phone Number Panel in the admin section.
In the admin section, you will now see a new phone panel while adding new agency user(s). The phone panel allows you to add different phone numbers of various phone types such as Fax, Mobile, Office, Work, etc.
