HMIS Data Sources

HMIS Data Sources are imported into the warehouse through an HMIS CSV file, often originating from an HMIS installation. Data Sources can be configured for individual CoCs, multiple HMIS installations within a CoC, and Statewide installations.

The table of existing HMIS Data Sources is visible by clicking Data Sources in the Main Menu.

Table elements include the following:

  • Name – Name provided for the source. This may be the specific name of an organization, CoC, or HMIS implementation.
  • Short Name – An abbreviated name of the data source. The short name is displayed alongside enrollment details in client profiles and on some reports.
  • Client Records – The number of client records included in the data source.
  • Project Count – The number of projects included in the data source.
  • Visible in Window– A flag on data sources that control visibility of client records for specific users depending on permission settings. Check with your local administrator to see if this feature is utilized locally.
  • Authoritative – Indicates if the Data Source is marked as an authoritative source, meaning data uploads are not permitted and data needs to be entered manually.
  • Last Import Run – The last date and time an import was added to the data source. Imports that are still processing will display the number of enrollments remaining to process.
  • Delete button – Represented by an X-mark allows the user to delete the data source and all associated data.
