Improved Security: 2 Factor Authentication & Device Detection

As part of continuous improvements to ensure eTrack is secure, we have introduced Two Factor Authentication.

Each user logging on is prompted for a 6 digit code that is emailed.   The email address is in the Email 1 field of Staff Details.   You can edit these by selecting staff under Resources/Current Staff.

Each user can only log in from two multiple devices.  If you attempt a third you will be prompted to replace one of the others.  This will help protect misuse of your login.

 

Track PACE Participants (D656A)

At the very top of the Contacts tab of a Participant you will see a field ‘NDIS System’.
It will default to My Place (ie. Proda) but allow you to change it to PACE.

The Participant, Personal, Plan and Time tabs all show the ‘NDIS System’ field so it can be used for grouping and filtering.

 

Invoice Tab speed up

The Invoices tab on Active Participants etc now runs much faster

If you track payments in eTrack please email [email protected] requesting the ‘Unpaid Invoices’ tab to be added quoting E#2066.

 

Invoice Tab speed up

The My Tasks tab defaults to Tasks that don’t have Done ticked and are either overdue or due in the next 7 days.    eTrack also now excludes Tasks that are on Inactive or Deleted Plans, are a Task Header or part of a Template.

Tasks are now ordered by Due Date with newest at the top.

Task Management in the eTrack APP has been made much more usable by also reflecting the above.

 

Editing Agency Managed Time

In the same way Invoiced time booked to Plan and Self-Managed Participants can’t be edited or deleted, so time booked to Agency Managed Participants included in a Bulk Uploads is now protected from being changed.

An Exported Flag is set on all time and expenses that are included in a Bulk Upload and have an Upload#.

To edit, move or delete time or expenses first clear the Upload # as follows….
