MULTI-STEP INTAKE / ADMISSION

Within AWARDS there are several available intake processes and forms. One version of the intake process, termed "multi-step," requires program staff to complete multiple steps between an applicant's screening and admission:

Step 1: Creating a Referral Record

Step 2: Processing Consumer Intake

Step 3: Processing Consumer Admission

Required Permissions

The multi-step intake/admission functionality is available to users with the following permissions:
