VisualGA 2016 Updates

1/19/2016 (6.49)

• Added new concept of "Date Filters" for reports, and implemented this feature for the System Statistics Report.  Originally, the System Statistics Report strictly filtered by Notice of Decision date.  With the new date filter option for the System Statistics Report, you can now filter by Notice of Decision Date or Grant Date with the latter filtering by any grant issued that falls within the date range.  Additionally, filtering on Grant Date will display unique SSN's (for GA/EA and AA where applicable) and a total # of Grants issued for each category.  This means that for the Zip Code section, if there was one client for zip code 60101 that had 5 grants, this would count as "1" for total Clients and "5" for total Grants.  This report snippet shows an example.

• Modified rendering logic on all Administration Console screens.  Users with incompatible Windows display settings (font sizes set to greater than 100% - see our System Requirements page about using the correct Windows display settings) were reporting that screens within the Administration Console were being cut off.  The new rendering enhancement will now display the Administration Console screens in their entirety.

 
3/23/2016 (6.52)

• Increased backup timeout from 15 minutes to 30 minutes to prevent database backup timeouts.  This is just to ensure that backups are successfully created on a daily basis.

 
4/1/2016 (6.53)

• Modified EA Application Form so that when printed from within the Emergency Assistance module, any Assistance Unit member other than the applicant will print in the Assistance Unit section. When this form is printed from within the Intake module or from the main VisualGA screen, 5 blank lines will print in the Assistance Unit section.
