Theme

Outlook calendar
Paste your published Outlook calendar link (the ICS one from Calendar settings → Shared calendars → Publish). Compass matches events to clients by attendee email and name, and asks before changing any meeting dates.
Data file
Local snapshots
Automatic in-browser backups (the last 3 full copies — one per few minutes and on load). A bad edit or overwrite can be rolled back.

days without contact
Your name, timing, and links save into the data file. Theme, accent, and view stay on this device.
Your HMIS
Profile links build as this address + the client's HMIS ID. Change it only if your county uses a different Clarity site.
Message templates
Reusable email or text drafts. Type {first}, {name}, {date}, or {me} and they fill in per client. A Message button then appears on each client's page.

Calendar sync — review first

Documents checklist

One list for every client. Collected checkmarks stick to an item's exact name, so renaming one starts it fresh. Items named BEP packet keep their built-in contents.

Unchecked clients are skipped by Copy client emails, the BCC draft, and Sent it logging — everyone else stays checked by default.

What Compass can do

Compass is your caseload, quietly organized — one calm flow instead of a dashboard. It reads and writes the same data file as Work Hub, so the two always agree.

Today
  • Your day — today's meetings on one timeline: calendar events with times and places, plus meeting dates from people's records. Past meetings fade as the day moves on.
  • Needs you — who's waiting, in plain language: missed meetings first, then overdue and quiet people. Log a contact or drop a note right from the list.
  • The week ahead — the next seven days at a glance.
Clients
  • One roster, filtered by what matters: Needs attention, Active, New, Quiet, Missing info, Exited — plus a chip for every tag you use (tags on their own row). Choose list, tiles, or a sortable table in Settings; sort by urgency, name, quiet time, next meeting, or Profile created.
  • Households shows the whole caseload as living units — real households first, then everyone who lives alone — with each member's status and one-click profiles.
  • CSV downloads whatever the list is showing.
  • On a profile: the ⚠ Missing N fields pill shows what's empty; the Contact section takes extra phones and emails (+ Phone / + Email in edit mode — imports match them too); the HMIS link builds itself from the ID; the name pencil hides Merge a duplicate (combine two records of the same person) and Delete client (with Undo); the Household section's pencil reveals Sync household to catch a new member up on shared info and history.
  • Activity log entries carry the year and time, condense repeats on the same day under one date, show the newest 10 with Show more, and each has an HMIS box — click when it's entered in Clarity, double-click to cross it out when it doesn't need to go in at all. In a household, HMIS ticks and paperwork checkmarks match across every member automatically — one entry in Clarity covers the family.
  • Last contact reads as humane phrases — "5 days ago", "8 weeks ago" — and missed meetings are called out in red.
Outlook calendar
  • Save your published ICS link once in Settings and hit sync calendar on Today (or turn on auto-sync). Compass matches events to clients by name in the title (and attendee email when present), shows you every proposed date change first, and moves whole households together.
  • If the browser blocks the link, Compass walks you through the two-click fallback — or just drag the .ics file onto the window.
  • Near-miss events ("Meet with Tom") get one-click Link buttons right in the preview, remembered for every future sync.
  • The Outlook calendar card on Extra holds both directions: sync your calendar in, or Download .ics to send every upcoming caseload meeting back out onto your real calendar.
Tasks
  • Its own tab — quick to add, with optional due dates. Overdue turns red, due-today amber, and tasks tied to a client show on their page too.
A client's page
  • The Activity log is the heart of it — your notes plus every tracked change (status, dates, documents, household moves, calendar syncs) in one timeline. Writing a note updates their last contact (Ctrl+Enter saves), the pencil on any note fixes or deletes it, and each note has an "in HMIS" checkbox so you know what still needs entering in Clarity.
  • The pencil beside the name unlocks everything: name, HMIS ID, case manager, contact info, meeting dates, HMIS and SharePoint links, and household members (add or remove — clients and non-clients alike).
  • Documents — upload files right onto the record, then view, download, or remove them any time. They travel inside your data file.
  • Documents checklist — tick off required paperwork and watch the progress bar fill. Packets like the BEP packet open up to show every piece inside; check the packet to check them all, or work through them one by one. The pencil on the card edits the list for every client — and any item can be given its own pieces to become a packet.
  • Status & Tags — set their status by hand, tag them, and mint new tags on the spot.
  • Call and Email buttons when they're on file, plus tinted HMIS and SharePoint buttons that jump out to those sites. (Log contact lives on Today's Needs-you list, and any note logs contact too.)
  • Households move together — change one member's status, address, case manager, meeting dates, logged contacts, or tags and every member gets the same change. Personal things (name, phone, email, notes, documents) stay individual.
Directory
  • The people you call all the time who aren't clients — landlords, coworkers, agency partners. Name, kind, org, phone, email, and a note each, with filter chips by kind. Email imports recognize Directory people, so their mail never clutters the unmatched list.
Links
  • Keep the documents, sites, and tools you reach for — anything with an address. They live in your data file, so Work Hub sees them too.
Extra
  • Booking blast — copy every client's email (or open a BCC'd draft) to send out your booking page link in one go. The link is saved in your data file so you can change it any time.
  • Email log — drop messages anywhere onto Compass: .eml files, a whole folder of them, an .mbox export, Thunderbird's INBOX mailbox file itself, or a whole Outlook .pst export (multi-gigabyte mailboxes stream in with a progress count; .msf index files are skipped). Each message is matched to clients by sender/recipient address — incoming and the ones you sent — and logged to their Activity log with the real date and the message text ("show message" on the entry). Voicemail notifications match by the client's phone number in the subject and log as a voicemail. Mail that matches nobody goes to a review list: link the sender to a client (the address is remembered on their record) or dismiss them for good. Duplicates are skipped automatically, so re-dropping your whole inbox is safe. A .pst's Calendar folder comes along too — its meetings run through the same match-and-propose flow as an Outlook calendar sync, reviewed on Today before anything changes.
  • Waiting on HMIS — every note not yet checked "in HMIS", grouped by client. Enter it in Clarity and tick it — or double-click anything that doesn't need to go in and it leaves the list for good.
Weekly summary
  • The Weekly summary card on Extra writes your work summary for supervision — this week, last week, or by month: notes by client, contacts logged, tasks completed, and new clients. Tweak the text, then copy, download, or open it as an email.
Everywhere
  • ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) — one box finds any client, note, task, link, or Directory contact, or runs a command: switch views, add a client, toggle the theme, save.
  • Saving — connect your file once and every change saves itself; otherwise the Save button downloads a fresh copy. Nothing ever leaves your computer. Connect, switch, or disconnect the file any time from Settings.
  • Settings — theme, five accent colors, list, tiles, or a sortable table for clients, your greeting name, the check-in/overdue timing shared with Work Hub, and your data file connection.
  • Starting fresh — the welcome screen can begin a brand-new caseload in the same file format.
