The Address Management grid displays addresses in the organization by contact, status, contact type, address type, and the date of when it was last updated.
    • The “Status” drop-down contains the option to filter the grid by non-geolocated or geolocated addresses.
    • Filters can be applied to the grid to display types of addresses, such as client or organization from the “Contact Type” drop-down.
    • When bulk geolocating, users are notified if an address has not been found or if it conflicts with another user’s modifications. Users can then apply or discard any changes.
  • To access this feature, there are two new permissions added that should be enabled:
    • (Utilities > View Address Management)
      • Allows users to view all addresses in the system.
    • (Utilities > Manage Address Management)
      • Allows users to bulk geolocate contacts’ addresses they are connected to, export, and geolocate single addresses.
    • Please note, both permissions are only automatically enabled in System Admin permission groups.

  • Next to “Activity History,” the download icon allows users to download the “Address Management” report and export all addresses within the organization.

  • The new “EVV Visit Export,” located in the Practice Auditing section, allows all users to view information collected using CR Mobile when Visit Verification is enabled on the appointment’s service code. This report is useful for GPS service validation, auditing, and Medicaid agency submission. Users can export the report as a CSV file and access it in the Files module.
    
  • The “Insights Settings” page has been redesigned to include the following new tabs:
    • The “Reports” tab allows users to manage which contacts can view or own reports and dashboards. Users that have access can also be removed.
    • The “Users” tab lets users manage access and ownership of reports based on individual and group permissions. Report access can be applied to groups by searching for the report and selecting “Give Access”.
      
    • Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) users can view the “Designer Licenses” tab to manage designer licenses. Users can add designers and search for designers in the search bar to remove access. After the maximum number of licenses have been assigned, organizations can purchase more licenses by selecting “Purchase Additional Licenses” and providing their phone number and number of licenses needed.
  • For ABI users creating reports, a new “Manage Permissions” button allows users to manage user permissions to reports.

  • When updating the duration of an existing appointment prior to cancelled or deleted appointments within a recurring series, the number of validation hours is now being calculated correctly.
  • When updating the duration of existing appointments scheduled on the last day of the month, the issue miscalculating the number of hours in the frequency of the authorization has been resolved.

The following new features and updates have been released with SSO for CR Mobile:
  • Single Sign On (SSO) provides the option for organizations and individual users to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to CentralReach and CR Mobile accounts.

7.7

Release Recap

The 7.7 release introduces Single Sign On (SSO), streamlining the login experience for CentralReach users. Currently, SSO is only available for the CentralReach platform, Client Portal, and CR Mobile. However, in subsequent releases users will be able to gain access to all connected platforms by signing in once. SSO can also be used along with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), for added security to CentralReach accounts. If you are linking multiple CR Accounts using the same email, click here.

The following new features and functionality have been released in CentralReach:

• Introducing Single Sign On (SSO), a more efficient way to sign into CentralReach, CR Mobile, and the Client Portal. The following new features and updates have been released with SSO:
  • All users, providers/employees, clients, and generics will experience the same login experience and email validation process. Users need to have access to the “Primary Email” listed in their CentralReach account and will validate that email address prior to signing in.
    • Network Providers are not affected by SSO, but will need to go through the “Forgot Password / First Time User” workflow in the login page to set a password in SSO and access their accounts.
    • Once the email address has been validated, that email is registered to the users’ SSO account. If a user needs to change their email address, they will need to go through the validation process again.
      • When changing their email address, users will be notified if it is registered to another account.
    • Users can now convert contacts that do not have access to CentralReach, by selecting “Convert to User” in the Basics section of their Profile. Please note, contacts need to have a primary email and date of birth in order to be converted to a user.
    • The “Login & Access” section can only be viewed by the account owner. However, users can view login activity in the Contacts module, by adding that column to the grid. Login & Access now also directs users to their SSO settings, to manage:
      • Basic Information: includes the email address, display name, profile image, time zone, and locale.
        • Users can modify their email addresses in this section.
        • Please note, only users with the following permissions can edit contacts’ first and last names:
          • (Contacts > Manage Own Basic Info): modify their own first and last names.
          • (Contacts > Manage Employees): modify other users’ first and last names.
          • Client-Admin level: modify clients’ first and last names.
      • Security: contains the current account password and a “Password” field for users to change their passwords. Users can enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) if their organization does not require it.
      • The organization account has the following additional SSO settings:
        • Company Information: includes the organization name, time zone, locale, and date format.
        • Security Settings: password expiration and session timeout can be adjusted for all users. Organizations can also enable and disable MFA.
          • Password expiration: 15 days, 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 90 days, or 180 days.
          • Session timeout: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, or 120 minutes.
        • Manage Users: search for users that have validated their email address and view their profile settings. Organizations can enable and disable MFA for individual users.
    • Please note, editing SSO settings will not sync with users’ CentralReach accounts. Therefore, editing the profile image and display name will only update SSO credentials and will not change in the CentralReach profile.
  • When users forgets their CentralReach password and are locked out, they can now reset the account password, instead of contacting an account administrator.
  • The “Birth Date” and “Primary Email” fields are now automatically added to contact forms. If the “Send Welcome Email” checkbox is selected, the Birth Date and Primary Email fields are required when creating a new contact with access to CentralReach.
  • SSO has also been added to the Client Portal. Clients will experience the same login process and can enable MFA. If more than one user, such as a parent/guardian, is signing into the Client Portal, both users should have access to the email address listed in the client’s Profile.
  • Single Sign On (SSO) provides the option for organizations and individual users to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to CentralReach accounts. CentralReach’s current Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) feature is no longer available. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring an authenticator application or access to the validated email address when logging in. Upon logging in, users will be required to input a security code sent via an authenticator application or email.
    • Users will experience the MFA login process every time they sign out and then into their CentralReach or CR Mobile account.

• A fix was implemented in the Billing Overview widget in the Client Portal, causing data to disappear when clicking the refresh icon. Data will now refresh properly, reloading all calculations within the widget.
