Saved Report Settings
Saved Report Settings can be set up by a user as they apply filters, choose projects or grants, and select the date ranges. Users can reuse these saved settings in the future to generate another report without needing to reapply the same parameters manually.
Source End Point
An Integration End Point represents one side of a recurring or one-time data export or import. Each end-point clearly identifies the system that records are being SENT TO or the system that the records are being RECEIVED FROM.
Modifying or Adding an End Point
To modify or add an End Point, please reach out to your System Administrator or navigate to Home Workspace > Global Administration > System Integration > Integration End Points
Source Type
The Source Type is not a filter but is required before generating a CSV Export. The option selected for Source Type will directly feed into the Export.csv in the SourceType column. According to the FY2024 CSV Specifications, this field identifies the type of source database that the data is exported from.
When Continuum-Operated HMIS is selected, users will need to also select a specific Continuum of Care (CoC) code.
Selecting any of the other three options - Agency-Specific Database, Data Warehouse, or Other - no additional filters or fields are necessary.
Date Range
The Date Range filter can be used to filter the enrollments that were active at some point during the date range selected. There are several pre-defined date ranges for users to choose from. If those date ranges do not apply, users may manually update the date range for the export.
Organization(s)
The Organization(s) filter is a required field before generating an export. Upon loading, the Organization the user is logged into will default to selected. Users may select as many organizations as necessary and the export will include applicable records for that organization.
Program(s)
The Program(s) filter may be used to restrict the export records to only include applicable records within the program(s) selected. This field is not required and users may select any and all applicable projects.
Grant(s)
The Grant(s) filter may be used to restrict the export records to only include applicable records within the grant(s) selected. This field is not required and users may select any and all applicable grants.
Exclude Deleted Records
This filter will exclude any deleted records from the export. Deleted records may include, but are not limited to deleted programs, deleted enrollments, and deleted client records. This filter is set to default as ‘Exclude Deleted Records’. If a user would like to include the deleted records, they may uncheck this filter and generate the export.
Including Deleted Records may cause errors when uploading CSV Exports to other applications due to missing relationships and required fields.
It is highly recommended to continue to exclude deleted records when generating a CSV Export.
Include PIT Count Information
This filter is not required, but when checked, will include PIT Count information for the date selected in the PITCount field in Project.csv. If checked, the CSV Export will include any PIT Count information that has been entered via the new PIT Count Data Entry process for the date selected.
Note: This filter allows for manually entered PIT Count information to be included in the CSV Export. It does not calculate the PIT Count based on enrollments or services for the projects.
Additional Filters
CoC
This filter is not required, but when selected, allows users to filter the records included in the CSV Export to only include records associated with the CoC selected. The CoC selected must match the Enrollment CoC in the clients Universal Data Assessment at entry and/or the Program CoC for project setup.
Included Assessment Types
This filter is not required, but when selected, allows users to filter the records included in the CSV Export to only records associated with the specific Assessment Types selected. These Assessment Types include Entry, During Program, Enrollment/Update, Annual, Exit, Post Exit/Follow Up and Other.
Limit After Care to 180 days from Exit
This filter is not required, but when selected, allows users to filter the records to exclude any After Care assessments collected outside of the 180 day timeframe defined by HUD. This filter is not required, but users generating a CSV Export for a RHY Export or a YHDP Supplemental Report should select this filter.
Limit services to within the Enrollment Entry and Exit Dates
This filter allows users to filter the export to exclude any services that are provided to a client outside of the Enrollment Entry and Exit dates. This filter is not required, but users generating a CSV Export for an official HUD purpose, including the SSVF Export, RHY Export, YHDP Supplemental Report, and/or use with Eva, should select this filter.
Hash PII
This filter will apply the HUD defined Hash algorithm to the Personally Identified Information (PII) included in the CSV Export. This filter is not required, but users generating a CSV Export for a RHY Export, a YHDP Supplemental Report, or to use with Eva will need to select this filter to generate a Hashed CSV Export.
The CSV Export 2024 has been updated to align with the latest version of the FY2024 HMIS CSV Format Specifications. This export will produce a ZIP file containing the 24 CSV files - including the 2 new files, HMISParticipation and CEParticipation.
