Email Alerts- Staff Trainings
We need the ability for scheduled trainings and expired documents to send out email alerts to notify "staff" of upcoming trainings or vital documents expiring, such as D.L., child maltreatments, etc.
If you can't automate these you may be able to add an email alert section for staff. (Right now we can only email alert cases and homes.) Things that could benefit in this section would be upcoming events, staff birthdays, etc.
We are state mandated to track training hours for our staff (24 hrs. for office staff and 30 for home staff) How can I track these hours to…6 votesHi All -

No more generating a file to input information.
Make it into where you can type in your notes without having to generate the report or document.
1 voteHi!
To avoid generating a file/document, an agency administrator modify the report or activity to use the Custom Form Builder or our Web documents.
Here is more information about our Web Documents: https://erfostercare.helpscoutdocs.com/article/584-creating-and-editing-web-documents

allow messages to homes by branch
We have multiple branches of foster homes and it would be easier to post messages to the Home Website that are branch specific instead of having to select each name individually.

Replace "(Parent A)" and "(Parent B)" identifiers with the first names of each parent
For reports and activities that apply to both parents in a 2 parent household, replace the automatic "(Parent A)" and "(Parent B)" labels that show up next to the report/activity title on the compliance tab or home file with the first name of the foster parent. For example, "CPR (Parent A)" and "CPR (Parent B)" would show up as "CPR (Mary)" and "CPR (Ali)".

Mobile App
Will this allow us to use our smartphones to actually type in our weekly supervisions and monthly contact and treatment summaries? I can download most of the forms, but cannot seem to get the ER to allow me to pull up the weekly supervisions and monthly contact forms. Thanks!
1 voteThe mobile app is now available for Android in the Google Play Store and for iOS in the Apple App Store!
The first version of the mobile app allows you to access basic case and home information (along with driving directions and phone numbers).
We are planning on adding new features to the mobile app based on user feedback. Please submit feedback to support@extendedReach – or submit new ideas in this forum using the new “Mobile App” category.

Pet Vaccination Records
Currently, the eR database requires a two step process when updating pet information:
- Upload the vaccination records; and
- Enter the new expiration date in the "General" tab.
It would be nice if the to functions communicated with one another.

Chronological sort of Inquiries
In the Foster Care Inquiries I was wondering if there is a way sort those by date. Even if it could be a widget to create an almost 'at-a-glance' sort of note of the Inquiries that the caseworkers may have.
They have the ability to sort Alphabetically at the moment which I think is the best for the overall so perhaps an additional or optionally placed section for By Date Inquiries?3 votes -
