Added My Hot Reports to Personal Settings.
PROMIS Application History: Gain more control and greater Flexibility and Accuracy with PROMIS Application
History.
When a family submits an Application for Head Start, the Family Members will be associated with the specific
Application Date. For Example:
On 8/1/2007, Mom submits an Application and her family consists of: Mom, and Eligible Child. Then one year later,
on 12/1/2008, Mom submits a new Application and her family situation has changed to: Mom and two Eligible Children
( is no longer part of the family).
PROMIS will now be able to track these differences automatically. So if the PIR is pulled for 2007, it will
recognize that the Family consisted of: Mom, and Eligible Child. Or if the PIR was pulled for 2008, it will
recognize that the Family consisted of: Mom and two Eligible Children
Based on Application Date selected (circled below), Family Members change.
Enhanced logic for when saving Address information and Family Member is not selected.

than today and End Date is null or greater than today.
Will display most recent date from Oral History where Type = Exam in Dental Exam

unchecked. Will only look at most recent Medical Insurance record where Primary Insurance = yes, Effective Date is
prior to today AND Insurance End date is null or greater than today.
Enhanced Filter Settings:

from all current Bus Routes.

'At end of year' at the same time.

- On Health: Child Nutrition Screen changed 'Received Treatment?' to ''Received medical treatment?'
A 20-b adjusted to count children with a 6th year enrollment status.
C1 and C2 – adjusted to not count children where No Coverage is selected
C27
Enhanced Logic to accurately count children that had a Disability and No Longer Qualify for this Disability.
-
If 'No Longer Qualifies' date is Prior to child's earliest enrolled start date in current program year, then do
not count. Else count child with disability.
C26.b uses below logic.
-
If 'No Longer Qualifies' date is Prior to child's earliest enrolled start date in current program year, then do
not count. Else count child with disability.
C27a. Adjusted PIR Logic: if Program Type = Early Head Start (in Ad Hoc PIR Request), then will only count where
Development Plan Type = IFSP. If Program Type = Head Start (in Ad Hoc PIR Request), then will only count where
Development Plan Type = IEP.
C26-C30. If Program Type = Head Start (in Ad Hoc PIR Request), then will not count child where Disability = IFSP -
At Risk, IFSP - Developmental Delay or IFSP - High Risk. These are Disabilities that are for children in EHS.
C41 and C42 adjusted logic so that if adult is working/in school there are counted in multiple locations (as
required in the PIR):
‘In School full-time and employed part-time’ is selected, we count person in C41a (i) or (ii) or
C41b(i) and in C42a (i) or (ii) or C42b(i).
‘Employed full-time and School part-time’ is selected, we count person in C41a (i) or (ii) or C41b(i)
and in C42a (i) or (ii) or C42b(i)
PIR Questions: C39, 40, C44, C45, C48, C51 – 53
Enhance logic to pull information from the correct Family Application, using the following logic:
-
Find the child’s earliest enrolled start date in current program year (for requested location)
-
Go backwards in time to find the most recent Application Date (basically we are finding closest application
date, that is PRIOR to child’s earliest start date in current program year for requested location)
When C56 = Yes, calculate # of children in C56a. Children are calculated by including children counted in A14
(enrolled children) and a count of those who have/had been assigned to a bus route while enrolled. Will look at
Transportation à Bus Route à Weekly Seating to find children. Will only count child once (even if
they are assigned to multiple routes).
Added Exclamation for A14. Exclamation = Total Potential - A14.
Total Potential People = Any person with an Enrolled Status with a Start Date between PIR Start (A1a) and End Date
(A1b) where Location is the same as Location in PIR Ad Hoc Request.
Added reverse PIR to C9b. C9b = C9a - C9b
Adjusted Reverse PIR for C18, C19, C33. It will only show Exclamation where PIR Ad Hoc Request is for Early Head
Start or Migrant Head Start.
Adjusted to ensure that all Class Session End dates are equal to or prior to Class Session End Date when ending
Status for multiple children.
Adjusted to enhance for greater efficiency. PROMIS Admin will no longer have to individually adjust and select
each class session. System will alert if a Class Session was already created
Oregon Department of Education: Data Export features to satisfy Department of Education requirement.
Ability to export data to VersaTrans Transportation Software.
