A number of changes to the Person Details form will be introduced on 30th June 2019.
Who is affected?
These changes will affect:
- Specialist Homelessness Service (SHS) workgroups – and other non SHS workgroups in the same cluster
- Any workgroup which is using the default client details form
Note: If your organisation has a specially configured client details form, these changes may not affect you.
Sex and Gender
