10. PIT Provider Pages
Visibility: There should be no visibility set up on any PIT Provider Pages in the system. They will only be visible to persons doing data entry via EDA, or System Administrators/CoC staff with access to the top level CoC HMIS provider pages.
Review both the static and dynamic visibility tabs to ensure that visibility is not set up. This includes “Global” in the Client field.

11. PIT Provider Pages
ES and TH providers who already use HMIS should audit providers to ensure that all information is complete and correct.
This includes:
Standards Information
CoC Code
Bed and Unit Inventory
Federal Partner Funding Sources

12. PIT Workflows

13. PIT Workflow
PIT Data Entry must be done with an Agency Administrator license that is attached at the Level 3 Unsheltered PIT Page. In many cases an additional license will need to be created.
Agency Admin License must have EDA access to all pages providing PIT data.

14. Unsheltered PIT Workflow
While logged in under the appropriate license, the Sys Admin or his/her designee will enter the street-count data using the following steps:
Set Back Date mode to the date of the PIT Count (set time stamp to 1:00 AM or later).
Set Enter Data As (EDA) to the Unsheltered PIT Count bin.
Create Client Record using data collection form.
Create households as applicable.
Complete the PIT (MSHMIS) assessment for all literally homeless (Category 1 only) persons and their households captured on the data collection forms.

15. Unsheltered PIT Workflow
Set a Need Only as follows:
Click the Service Transactions tab then click the “Add Need” icon.
Choose the Need Type from the drop-down list (must be populated on PIT Bin Provider Page Service Quicklist as follows: Emergency service BH-1800 to BH ).
Include all household members in Need, as applicable.
Need date should be set to PIT date selected for Back Date mode.
Set Status of Need to “Closed.”
Set Outcome of Need to “Not Met.” Note: “If Need Not Met Reason” does not need to be set.
Click “Save and Exit.”

16. Non-HMIS Emergency Shelter Workflow
Go to the shell provider bin created for the non-HMIS participating program on the system, the provider shell page where the bed and unit inventory list resides.
Set Back Date mode to the date of the PIT Count (set time stamp to 1:00 AM or later).
Set Enter Data As (EDA) to the appropriate ES, TH or Safe Haven PIT Count bin.
Create Client Record using data collection form.
Create households as applicable

17. Non-HMIS Emergency Shelter Workflow
6. Complete the PIT (MSHMIS) assessment for all literally homeless (Category 1 only) persons and their households captured on the data collection forms.
7. Add a Service (suggest via the Multiple Services button or SkanPoint). Be sure to include all applicable household members. The Service type/code is the same: Emergency Shelter/BH-1800 (or any emergency service type from BH-1800 to BH ). The Start Date of the Service is set for the PIT Count date and the End Date is set for the day after the PIT Count (PIT Date plus one day).
8. Complete need information. Need Status: Closed. Outcome of Need: Fully Met

18. Non-HMIS Transitional Housing Workflow
The Transitional Housing workflow will mirror that of the Emergency Shelter with the exception that an Entry/Exit will be created instead of a Service and Need.
*Be sure to include all household members.

19. Non-HMIS Transitional Housing Workflow
When creating an exit be sure the time captures the overnight hours of the PIT

20. Domestic Violence Data Entry
DV Programs are required to participate in the 2017 PIT and eHIC process within the local communities
Data entry for DV providers will follow the same basic sheltered ES or TH workflow.
*Data entry for DV providers are NOT completed in the provider shell. Instead, they are entered in the level 4 ES or TH PIT pages.
* All clients and their households will be entered using the anonymous client. See supplemental documentation for instructions
