Easy customization of the customer information
Existing fields can be hidden, or assigned more user-friendly labels, and made optional, if needed.
Premium users may now also have additional fields/attributes added to customer data.
A more robust and easy-to-use permissions system that allows the admin to control access to various modules and functionality
New roles can be created with more granular permissions easily, and better to align the Fieldworker platform to an agency's operation.
A powerful collection of dashboards providing key insights
Open up Ability Hub as a customer-facing portal for The Fieldworker
Have an employee initiate an invite to a customer - this creates a customer and a caregiver(if it does not already exist). The acquisition source is set to ‘Fieldworker’. The employee is the caregiver, and the customer is the patient. This will be initiated by a new icon (AH) on the customer overview screen.
Have an employee initiate an invite to a contact - this creates a contact, and a customer(if it does not already exist), and a caregiver(if it does not already exist). The acquisition source is set to ‘Fieldworker’. Employee is the caregiver, contact is the contact, and the customer associated with the contact is the patient. This will be initiated by having a new icon (AH) on the contact overview screen.
Enhance the process for bulk migration of the data into the Fieldworker by allowing columns to be renamed to align more with the agency and the state.
Easier access to prior MTs for a customer. All previous MTs for a customer are now available in a separate tab.
Provide a help button that will send out an email to FW Help. It will also capture a screenshot of the issue on your screen.
FW also allows agencies to be able to define custom roles. Ideally, it should be possible to have a new policy file for this derived role, capturing all changes in the authorization for this role. A new role will inherit all the functionality of the parent role, which may be extended or have certain functionality of the parent role denied. Three base roles are defined.
Admin
Manager, and
Employee
FW Workflow tool
‘Workflow’ is a new feature that a company can subscribe to. An agency can create a workflow that captures its processes and ensures that all tasks are carried out as expected.
A new functionality to instantiate ‘New Workflow’. This is accessible as part of the <New> page, as well as from the top right list of icons.
The interface to instantiate a new workflow
A step in a workflow is any task that is supported/defined by the agency.
The workflow functionality also allows additional steps that can be used to communicate with your customers
Send a text message (The customer must be using the Ability Hub app, and the agency should subscribe to the Client portal.)
Send an email (The customer record should have a valid email.)
Send a form to be completed.
The workflow moves to the next task after the completion of specific actions, such as
The previous task is checked out
The task is marked 'Completed' manually
A certain no of days (or time) has elapsed
A new tab (should be the default tab) on the workflow page that lists all currently active workflows for the current user.
While creating a new customer
On the customer type section, add another configuration, just after the type - Create a default project automatically. This will have two options: Yes and No.
Add another field to the customer form, capturing ‘Additional address details, if any’
When creating a new customer, using the NEW → Customer form, if the company has selected ‘Yes’ for Create Project Automatically, create a new project, by default, for this customer.
When manually adding a customer, check for potential duplicates. Check for the same name, address, and/or phone number.
New interface to bulk data upload, using Fieldworker Data Import
When importing data, confirm the number of columns as expected.
The import process, after reading the input file, now displays the data in a data grid.
The validation checks are run for each row. Errors are indicated (by marking the field value RED), and the relevant rows are highlighted. The expected summary is presented below the data grid.
No of rows with no issues NNN
No of rows with issues NNN
Any rows and columns that fail validations can be edited. The import process uses the new edited values when importing the data.
A new functionality that links various fields to a specific business type and its label, if the field is mandatory.
Rebuild the landing page to support customizable layouts.
Support a couple of different layouts - 2X2, 2X1, 2X(2,1), 1x2.
For standard roles and lines of business, we will have default layouts and contents pre-selected that will be displayed.
The company admin can select a desired layout, as well as what content will be displayed for various roles, including the custom roles created for their own company. This functionality can be accessed by admins from a new tab on the Settings page. The user layout (once implemented) has higher priority.
The list of functionalities available to select from will be based on the subscription of company. Options include

Form reports may now also be filtered based on the task types.
The Employee Notes report now includes notes that are not associated with any tasks i.e. simply a customer note.
On the Claims dashboard, allow billing end dates for selected claims to be modified.
On the Scheduler page, allow all recurring scheduled sessions (in the future) to be deleted in a single action.
In the calendar .. for schedules, can we use a slightly more prominent color to indicate today’s date?

From the MT approval screen, allow the user to select all ‘Unapproved’ MTs and bulk approve them all. This should be marked as bulk-approved. Maybe a new status is needed here.
On the MT page, the floating windows (notes, etc) should remember their last location.
Add Task type as an additional column in the datagrid on the service authorization tab.
When an attendance record is being modified for a scheduler's use, display the available units, similar to when creating a schedule entry.
While scheduling, show the number of units, rather than the minutes remaining.
When accessing a form from the attendance record, we now show both the task start and the task end time.

Customer gender is added to the dashboard
The prior authorization file is modified to support a new field indicating a new plan year.
The customer acuity field is now considered to identify the rate for all billing situations.
