Penelope Enhancements

The following list represents enhancements and fixes to existing Penelope features. In most cases, little or no action is required on your part beyond reviewing the updated help materials (if applicable).

Enhancement

Description

“Agency Schedule” and “Add Service Wizard” calendar mouseover is now optional.

When “Display case ID / name when mousing over.” is set to “No” on Event Setup the user will no longer be able to see the full details of the event. They will instead see the Event ID.

When “Display case ID / name when mousing over.” is set to “Yes” on Event Setup the user will see a new option under the “Options” list called “Event Details on Mouseover”. When checked, this option will allow the user to view more event details. When unchecked, the user will instead see the Event ID.

“Availability Type” and “Availability Site” are now multi-select options on the “Agency Schedule” and “Add Service Wizard” pages.

When checking Availability on the “Agency Schedule” and “Agency Schedule” and “Add Service Wizard” pages users will now be able to filter the schedule view by multiple “Availability Type” and “Availability Site”.

Only numbers allowed in phone number fields.

When entering a phone number into contact information fields, Penelope will no longer allow the user to save phone numbers with letters in them. Only phone numbers with digits will be allowed to save, the user will receive an error message if they try to save a phone number with letters in it.

ClientConnect

Enhancement

Description

Documentation

Sending Completed Documents through ClientConnect.

Penelope users will now be able to setup a Document to be sent to an individual through ClientConnect.

ClientConnect users will be able to view Documents in their Inbox and Service Timeline.

New setting for “Request a Service” for the “Pre-Enrollment Reason Default”

The System Administrator will now be able to set a default for Pre-Enrollment entries added through “Request a Service” in ClientConnect.

On upgrade, “Pre-Enrollment Reason Default” will default to the previously hard-coded value of “Waiting for Assignment” if the “Request a Service” feature was already enabled. If that reason was renamed, it may not appear as “Waiting for Assignment” in your Penelope. If that reason was deleted from your Penelope, ClientConnect users may have encountered errors and you will need to set a default so these errors no longer occur.

Locked ClientConnect accounts error message and notification improvements.

When a ClientConnect user has entered their password incorrectly, the error message will now warn them that after 5 failed attempts, their account will be locked and to try resetting their password.

When the account is locked and the user attempts a password reset, they will receive an email with the contact information for the agency as setup on the ClientConnect Setup for “Agency Direct Help – Email” and “Agency Direct Help – Phone”.
