  • Default Group List Filter by User’s Site – When enabled the Group List page will only show Groups assigned to the logged-in Worker’s assigned site. Workers can still adjust the Site Search Criteria option to show Groups from other Sites (subject to Security Settings).

  • Default new Service File Presenting Issues from Intake Summary – When enabled the first three Presenting Issues entered on the Intake Wizard (or subsequently on the Case page > Intake Summary tab) will be copied to the Presenting Issues field/s when enrolling a client in service through Add Service File or Add Service Wizard.

  • User Defined Tab Label – The label you would like to use for the User Defined tab on the Service File page.
