*UPDATE* DCI Web Portal & Mobile App Release Notification

The DCI maintenance release for the web portal will occur on the morning of Thursday, September 14, 2023, and will require the DCI web portal to be unavailable for all users from 1:30 AM to 3:30 AM EST.

The DCI maintenance release requires a mobile app update. A follow-up communication with new release dates will be provided soon.

Authorization Widget Enhancement

Users with access to the authorization widget can now view authorizations in time rather than units providing visibility into how much time is available to work or receive services without exceeding the authorization limit.

• The Authorizations Widget can now display in units or time. The default view is in units. Submit a DCI support ticket to update the instance-level setting default view to time.

• Click the Display as Time button to view the authorizations in hours and minutes, days, or months.

  • Authorizations measured in miles and dollars are excluded from time conversion

  • Conversion to time is based on funding type, billing unit, and billing multiplier. If minutes are a decimal, the system will always round down to the whole minute.

• Click the Display as Units button to view the authorizations in units

• Weekly and monthly max authorization columns feature hyperlinks to view summary pop-up boxes

  *Please note: This feature is an instance-level setting. To enable hyperlinks to the authorization summary pop-up boxes, please submit a DCI support ticket.

  The summary pop-ups display the following details: 

  • Month/Year or XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX - Defaults to current week. Use the black arrow to toggle and view authorization monthly or weekly max data.

  • Monthly or Weekly Max

  • Monthly or Weekly Used

  • Monthly or Weekly Remaining
