Plans and Reviews







Previous Topic  Next Topic 

The AWARDS Plans and Reviews feature is used to complete an individual's plans and reviews, to electronically sign completed plans (when configured), and to view plan/review reports.

IMPORTANT! Plans and Reviews functionality, along with the PlanBuilder configuration component, is currently an optional alternative to the existing Service Plans feature.  As a result, it is not automatically available in all AWARDS databases.  If Plans and Reviews and the PlanBuilder are not currently turned on in your AWARDS database and you would like them to be, please contact your Foothold Customer Success & Advocacy team representative for guidance.  Keep in mind that once turned on not all programs (and/or clients within those programs) may be set up to use Plans and Reviews immediately.  If your agency is still in the process of transitioning to Plans and Reviews you should continue to use Service Plans until otherwise instructed by your supervisor or AWARDS administrator.

  NOTE: When the Plans and Reviews feature has been turned on it is only available for a program when a PlanBuilder plan has been created and assigned to the relevant program type.
