Program Report Types

Introduction

 

This article is meant to assist you with the details in adding and maintaining Program Reports. Program Report Types control your list of available Reports within a particular Program. 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.

 

Prerequisites
