ServicePoint Upgrade to 5.10
ServicePoint was upgraded last week to 5.10. Two areas of note were upgraded, the Self Sufficiency Matrix and the Referrals functionality.
SSOM:
For those using the Matrix, you will need adjustments in your Provider Admin to edit and delete the matrix in a client file. Where it previously said SSOM, it now reads Measurement Tool.
Referrals:
Improvements have been made to the Referrals canned report, the ability to sort in each column has been added. Referrals can now be prioritized with a Ranking and the VI SPDAT Score.
