Introduction
This article is meant to assist you with the details in adding and maintaining Home Report Types. Home Report Types control your list of available Reports within a particular Home. Reports are typically documents that are either collected or generated/written by your staff, and often have a due date and an associated file. Examples of Reports are written documents, such as service plans or assessments, or collected documents, such as birth certificates or social security cards.
Prerequisite
You must be an Agency Administrator to access the “Administration” menu on the left side of your Workspace. Go to “Organization Settings” and click on “Home Report Types”.
