Fixes

The following table lists the fixes that ChildPlus incorporated into the release of DataEngine version 1.28:

Screen	Description
Archive Database	ChildPlus resolved an error that was displaying periodically if you attempted to connect to an archive database.
Creative Curriculum.net	You can now flag potential CreativeCurriculum.net administrators on the User Setup screen. If you indicate that a DataEngine user is a potential CreativeCurriculum.net administrator, then ChildPlus will transfer their user name and password to CreativeCurriculum.net. Once you configure their administrative access in CreativeCurriculum.net, they will be able to view CreativeCurriculum.net data and run reports. ChildPlus modified the tab order on the Licenses and Sites tab of the CreativeCurriculum.net Setup screen. The tab order now follows the logical flow of the fields on this screen.
Enrollment	When you add a new application, ChildPlus will now automatically select the Let ChildPlus decide whether to count this child for PIR question C.9 option on the C.9 tab. When you check the Accepted, Waitlisted, or Abandoned box on the Programs tab, ChildPlus will automatically assign the current date as the date the participant was accepted, waitlisted or abandoned (depending on the box you check). ChildPlus modified the tab order on this screen so that the Eligibility tab comes before the Location History tab. This change restores the tab order on the Enrollment screen to the way it was prior to the release of version 1.27.
Health	When you add a new health event for a participant, DataEngine will now automatically check the Met Requirement box. ChildPlus will check this box by default when you are adding a health event for an individual. You will still have to manually check this box when adding multiple health events for the same participant or when you use the Health Utility to add an event for multiple participants.
PIR	ChildPlus modified the way question C.9.a is calculated and no longer counts health events with Formal Evaluation or Follow-up Assessment checked. ChildPlus now uses the following method to determine if a child should be counted for question C.9.a: A child will be counted for this question if he/she has a health event where the Treatment Needed box is checked. In addition, the health event must have occurred within the operating period or 12 months prior to the date entered on the Mapping tab for question C.9.

Reports

ChildPlus both enhanced and modified existing reports for the release of 1.28. Because many of these
fixes were minor, we have only listed changes that directly affect users in this document. The
following table lists the different reports that ChildPlus modified for version 1.28:

Report Name	Report #	Report Type	What was modified?
Enrollment Priority Listing	2025	Enrollment	ChildPlus resolved an intermittent error message that was displaying when you attempted to run this report.
Primary Language and Race	2180	Enrollment	You can now run this report in Summary mode.
Family Service History	4110	Family	Selecting Show families with no matching events on the Report Setup screen no longer results in an error message.
Enrollment & Turnover	9701	PIR	No longer counts children with a status of abandoned for question A.15.
PIR Addendum Worksheet - Health	9913	PIR	Children who are associated with more than one family are no longer being counted twice in the report totals.
