NetCIL/CFAL Client 1.67 New Features

 

Applies to:  CFAL Version 5.67, NetCIL Desktop 1.67, and NetCIL Online

 

Updated: 7/22/2014

 

NetCIL Client Versions 1.67 and CFAL 5.67 contain several enhancements from versions 1.5 and 5.5, as well as fixes for all reported bugs. A brief summary of other changes is given below.

-          Expanded Excel Staff Performance Report now includes a time sheet tab

-          Expanded Excel New Contacts for Period Report

-          Numerous minor updates to a variety of reports

-          Additional sample queries

-          Document Management enhancements:  You can now create sub-categories of standard documents and organize them into subfolders like 1 Standard Consumer Documents, 2 Standard IR Documents, and 3 Standard Miscellaneous Documents. When creating standard document sets for an individual, the application will ask you what folder to use for auto-add. You can rename the folders to whatever you want, as long as they follow the convention {something}standard{something}documents{something}. You can add/delete subfolders as you wish; a minimum of two are required in order to use the feature.

When recording services for non-consumers, the Services lists will, except in New York, default to only I&R services. Users can list all active services by selecting “Show All Services.” The shortcut key sequence is Alt-I, Shift-Tab, then spacebar to toggle the checkbox value. In New York, all services are displayed by default. New York users can of course filter I&R-only services by un-checking the “Show All Services” box.

An Excel report has also been added to the Consumer History and Referrals forms.

 

 

 

An e-mail setup control has been added to the Main form. If a user’s e-mail account has not already been set up, a configuration wizard will launch when the control is selected. If a user’s account is already set up, a generic e-mail message will be created. The Accessibility Features control has also been moved.

 

 

The NetCIL Ribbon functions have been expanded. The large set of features that are available via the ribbon means that most users will not need the full version of Microsoft Access in order to run NetCIL applications.

 

To facilitate fee-for-service data, a “Funding Type” list has been added to the Group Case Note function.

 

 

A basic document management feature has been added to the organizations screen. Selecting the link in the lower right corner (or pressing the F4 function key) will create a folder where documents that are associated with a given organization can be stored.

The ability to send correspondence to new consumers or I&R contacts for a given period has been added, as well as a form for Mailing List management:

 

 

NetCIL Online users automatically have access to the new application. For all other NetCIL / CFAL users, NetCIL Desktop Client Version 1.67 is now available for download.  If you choose to install it, please be sure to follow these procedures:

 

  1. Ensure that you create a backup copy of your data.
  2. Ensure that you have Office 2007 Professional with Service Pack 3,  Office 2010 Professional with Service Pack 1, Office 2013, MS Access 2010 Runtime, or MS Access 2013 Runtime 32-bit versions installed – The application will not work in any other configuration.  64-bit versions of NetCIL applications are available, but not recommended due to compatibility issues between MS Office 64-bit and other third-party applications.
