In the interest of giving you all a better idea of what’s happening with YouthCenter going forward, here is an updated schedule for all things YouthCenter for the next two years. Of course, being that it spans two years, some things may be rearranged as priorities change. This is the current plan and we’ll be working hard to get this all finished and give you the best experience possible. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you have any suggestions for features more important than these, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
June, 2020
- Legacy site no longer dependent on Internet Explorer
- Enjoy the old administration interface on any browser without any special setup.
- Apps moved to the new interface
- Meal Counts
- Register of Action
- In-App help links to the new documentation site (https://docs.youthcenter.net)
- In an effort to help new users get up to speed quickly and answer questions before they get to your IT help desk, we set up a new online documentation site. Throughout the app, users will see help articles and videos related to the page they’re currently on. These articles and videos will walk them through the steps needed to use the app correctly and efficiently.
- Ability to manage your people picker lists
- When notifying others thoughout the system, you can use premade lists of people. This will, once again, allow you to manage those lists in a central location.
- Added images to Client Residency records
- Often times an image of a residence will help someone like a PO stay safe when they need to visit. Each residence will have the ability to save an image now.
