Record and monitor whatever client information the agency wishes to track. Organize this information into whatever groups (e.g. geographic, programmatic, age) make sense for planning, monitoring, evaluation, budgeting and billing.

Follow consumer activities and events, note progress, and electronically share notes; attach related documents, photographs, and authorizations (signatures). Track persons active and in service as well as any inactive and/or awaiting service. Utilize agency-defined standards, assessments, surveys and protocols or import such from outside accreditation, certification, licensing and other organizations.

The features in Danic’s centralized scheduler rival those of the most robust scheduling software on the market. Coordinate staff / client meetings, as well as space and equipment use. Take a daily, weekly or monthly view of one’s calendar. Employ multiple views of individual, space and equipment in the search for mutually available times. Easily change times and dates of meetings and events by clicking and dragging. Convert appointments to actual contacts with one click, invoice them with another, add notes for the record.

Track volunteer time by whatever activity types are desired. Capture and report volunteer feedback and any other pertinent information pertaining to volunteer efforts.

The breadth of Danic’s querying and reporting capability has always been its long suit with the ability to create hundreds of statistical reports on individual characteristics (clinical and demographic), activities, cases, issues and problems, surveys, goals and outcomes. Now add remarkable depth. The reporting engine generates a standard set of commonly-needed, multi-dimensional reports. These display in both tabular and graphic form with extensive drill-down capabilities. Easily change their look (colors, fonts, layouts). Save special queries and reports for repeated use.

The ability to bring multiple screens up at a time helps users get a more complete picture relevant to the task at hand. Fashion user screens to mirror current forms and showing only user-related functions and data, making the system easy to learn and operate.
