Cúram Enterprise Framework

Dynamic Evidence

PO07150, WorkItem:196131 - Relationship Evidence - Select and Clear participant icons disappear after error displayed

Previously, the Search and Clear icons for Participant field were disappearing after validation error was displayed. This issue has now been resolved.

EVIDENCE MAINTENANCE

WorkItem:195119 - Documentation for evidence period calculation algorithm

If a multiple participant update is configured, the modify page now uses the same evidence period calculation algorithm as all other application areas.

Technical Services

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Integrated Case Management

PO07253, WorkItem:200485 - 'PROSPECT DUPLICATE' water mark is displayed in v6 fashion on v7

Previously, the 'PROSPECT DUPLICATE' water mark was displayed in V6 fashion on the person details page. This has been corrected to align with the V7 style.

EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT

WorkItem:194998 - End Dating Enhancement - Incorrect Label on the Edit Evidence Modal for Configuring the End Dating Enhancement

Previously, in the administrator application, the labels on the Edit Evidence modals for non-dynamic and dynamic evidence, as well as the associated help text, used incorrect terms when referring to the "End Dating when Creating evidence" enhancement.
The wording has now been updated to use the correct terms, removing confusion.

PO07133, WorkItem:195712 - Evidence Action item list is partly obscured

Previously the action item drop down list for Evidence was partly obscured, now this has been fixed and the action item drop down list for Evidence displays without any obstruction.

WorkItem:206995 - Provide environment property to toggle display of evidence period column for same start and end date

For an evidence record, the "Period" column shows the Start Date and End Date during which time a piece of evidence is valid.
Previously, if the evidence was valid for one day, meaning the Start Date and End Date were the same date, only the "Start Date" displayed in the 'Period' column.

In other scenarios, where the duration of the evidence spans longer than one day or where the evidence is still active, '-' is used, for example: "Start Date - End Date" or "Start Date - "

Now, there is a configurable property: "Display evidence period as point in time" which controls how the evidence period is displayed. The default value for this property is true. When set to false, and where the duration spans one day only, the same Start Date and End Date are displayed separated by '-'.

Administration Suite

PO07262, WorkItem:201191 - Criteria Surrounding of check box group is missing

In Cúram V6.x, there was a border on the "Assigned To" checkbox list on the New Task Query modal. When the new UI was added in V7, the border was removed. This made it difficult to see which items belonged to the checkbox list.

This has been resolved by restoring the border around the "Assigned To" checkbox list on the New Task Query modal.

Application Development Environment

PO07174, WorkItem:206996 - Static evidence metadata field relatedEvidenceParticipantID undefined will fail modify

Previously, an error occurred stating "Failed to modify evidence" when attempting to modify a static child evidence, where the metadata field relatedEvidenceParticipantID was set as undefined. Now this has been fixed and the modify action completes successfully.

CLIENT DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

PO07089, WorkItem:192337 - CLIPBOARD element is not working when there is the property value as parameter

Previously, the system did not allow the user to copy the value from the property file. Now, this issue has been resolved.

PO07236, WorkItem:199947 - Search field border loses top line when tabbing through fields in Internet Explorer

Previously, the top border of the search field was being cut off when the user was tabbing through the search or clear button that are part of the search widget. Now, this issue has been resolved by showing the field border when the search or clear button has the focus.

Cúram Modules

Intelligent Evidence Gathering

PO07074, WorkItem:206998 - Unable to add validation custom function in pages with a dynamically populated list question

Previously, when the datastore was populated outside of Intelligent Evidence Gathering (for instance from a callout), a page that referenced these newly added entities and that both contained a list-question and a validation would throw a NullPointerException upon submission. This has been addressed as the exception is no longer encountered and the validation is performed successfully.

Known Issues

Cúram Enterprise Framework

Integrated Case Management

WorkItem:123357 (was previously SPMP-15534) - Evidence shared from Person to case, is accepted but not activated on the case, modifying this evidence prior to activation will not share this modification back to Person

An issue exists at present with evidence that is shared from Person level to case(s). If the evidence shared from Person evidence to a case is not activated on the case, and that shared evidence is modified within that case prior to activation, the updated evidence is not shared back to Person evidence.

For example; if address evidence is configured for sharing from Person to an Integrated Case with auto-activate disabled and auto-accept enabled. On capturing a new address for a client at Person level, the address is shared to the Integrated Case and automatically accepted onto the In-Edit evidence list on that case. If a case worker modified the In-Edit address within the Integrated Case and activates this change, this address update is not shared back to Person evidence.

To work around this issue, customers have two options.

• Case workers should activate incoming evidence that has been accepted on to the case from Person evidence
• Customers can configure the evidence sharing between the Person evidence to other cases with both auto-activate and auto-accept enabled

Application Development Environment

WorkItem:37987 (was previously TEC-18014) - CDA Assessment Decision Matrix application timeout error

When an administrator is configuring a CDA assessment in Outcome Management, the Decision Matrix displays a wizard to assist the user for creating the matrix. The wizard throws a timeout error, which prevents it from being used. The workaround available is to click OK when the application timeout error appears, select the Cancel button on the wizard and then use the Questions, Outcome and Options button to create the matrix.

Cúram Modules

Provider Management

WorkItem:103350 (was previously CPM-2415) - Incorrect underpayment amount created when multiple service invoice line items reassessed due to change in service rate

When there are multiple service invoice line items created and paid for a provider using a fixed amount service rate and payment option of 'pay fixed amount', if the service rate that was used to determine the payment amount is retrospectively modified, e.g. to a higher rate, underpayments are not being generated for all of the affected service invoice line items.

Outcome Management

WorkItem:114547 (was previously CC-1100) - Administration property 'curam.outcomeplanning.referralForAgreementDays' is not working as expected

Outcome Management provides the ability to create agreements where the client(s) can agree in writing to adhere to the activities (services, referrals and actions) that form part of the agreement. A system property exists to filter out referral type activities during the agreement creation process based on a number of days from when the referral was created. This property is currently not being considered when creating an agreement. To work around this issue, the user can view the start date of the referral on the create agreement wizard to determine whether the referral should form part of the agreement.

WorkItem:115188 (was previously CC-930) - Incorrect Activity Responsibility setting when a plan is automatically created by the system.

In certain scenarios, an activity will have an incorrect responsibility setting, in that the responsibility will be set to ‘system’ instead of the appropriate user. The issue occurs for a specific set-up where:

• ‘Enable Automatic Population of Outcome Plans’ system property is set to true; and
• Outcome Plan is created automatically from referral processing; and
• An action which is configured to be automatically added, has been configured so that the responsibility is assigned to a user.

To work around this issue, the responsibility for the actions that are automatically added should be set to 'Any User', so that the planner user can edit the responsibility field when the action is added to the plan and change the responsibility from 'System' to the appropriate user.

WorkItem:148405 - Outcome Plan Activity Workspace does not refresh and display the newly created Action

When a new action is created from outcome plan activity workspace, the created action is not displayed on the workspace as the workspace does not get refreshed automatically. The workaround available is to refresh the workspace manually to see the action.
