    Running the IDHS Reports in BusinessObjects

    This article provides step by step instructions for running the IDHS (Illinois Department of Human Services) Details reports in BusinessObjects for projects funded through IDHS. This report was originally created to support DFSS quarterly reporting, but it has been copied and adjusted so that any HMIS project can run it and use the output to help complete reporting in the IDHS reporting repository. The goal is to reduce the amount of manual work required by pulling needed data directly from HMIS into a structured format. However, this report is not a 1:1 match to the IDHS repository. Depending on the project type and the specific fields required during submission, you may still need to gather or confirm some information outside of this report. Use this report as a strong starting point to support your IDHS reporting process. For instructions on how to access BusinessObjects please see this article.

     

    Locating The Report

    The report is located by navigating through the following folders:

    Public Folder -> chicago_live_folder ->Chicago CoC Reports (Secure) -> IDHS

    You will find that the IDHS folder contains two files:

    • IDHS Carryover Details 

    • IDHS Quarterly Details

       

    Running The Report

    To run any of the IDHS reports, click on the report name. This will open the report to run. Once the report loads it will present a prompt so that the report's parameters can be filled out.
