These instructions are for recording or updating DSS client level data on the Individual Profile. This data can also be recorded in the DSS Members section of an applicable Service File or Group. Penelope automatically updates the client data in each location regardless of where it has been entered.
Depending on your configuration some of the data fields shown may not be available in your Penelope database.
If you are not using the Partnership Approach or the client is not enrolled in a Partnership Approach based Case Service, the Reasons for Assistance, Referral Source and standard Partnership Approach fields are not required in your submissions and are therefore hidden.
