RHY Export/Import Update

See the RHY Export/Import Update from Bowman Systems:"As you should know by now, the RHYPoint Repository re-opened for uploads on Friday, April 29th and will remain open until Friday, May 6th at 7:00 PM Central time.Our recommendation for all Bowman Systems customers is that their grantees re-export from ServicePoint and re-upload their data via RHYPoint, even if a DQ report was received by the grantee from a prior upload. This will ensure that the highest quality data is received for each grant. Please remind your RHY grantees not to open the export file before uploading to RHYPoint." See the following memo sent from FYSB on 4/29:Dear Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Grantees:Thank you for your patience as we made critical changes to the RHYPoint portal.As of 9:30 a.m. EDT on April 29, 2016, we have reopened the RHYPoint portal. RHYPoint will continue to remain open to accept data uploads until May 6, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. EDT.As a reminder, all active, current RHY grantees are required to upload their data in zipped CSV files that have been hashed for RHY. The period of submission for RHY data should be from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2016.If you have already submitted your data to RHYPoint AND have received a Data Quality/Completeness Report, then you do not have to submit again. Your data have been received and no further action is needed by you.Please contact www.RHYMISServiceDesk.net if you require assistance with your upload.Below is a summary of the changes we made:

1. All submissions that contain client-level data that have been appropriately hashed will be accepted. You will need to resubmit your data if it was sent with the incorrect CSV file and was not hashed, as it contains personally identifiable information (first, middle, or last name or Social Security fields).
2. All submissions must contain hashed client level records and enrollments. If your files do not contain these, they will not be accepted.
3. You will no longer receive a long, detailed data quality report the day after submission. You will instead receive a simplified Data Completeness/Quality report if the file you submit meets all CSV 4.1 specifications. We will also send you a confirmation e-mail stating that we have received your data.

Thank you again for all your efforts,The Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB)
