Employee Group Authorizations
DCI now allows duplicate/overlapping authorizations for the same client and service code when assigned to different employees. A new service code setting called Allow Employee Authorizations is now available. This feature allows units/dollars to be allocated to a specific employee or group of employees.
*Previously:
A client could not have more than one authorization for the same service code and the same or overlapping dates
Units/dollars could not be allocated to a specific employee or a group of employees
*New:
A client can now have more than one authorization for the same service code and the same or overlapping dates as long as they are associated with different employees
Units/dollars can be allocated to a specific employee or group of employees by assigning employees to authorizations
To utilize, enable the Allow Employee Authorizations setting on the service code.
Please note: When enabled, a specific employee or employees must be assigned to the authorization for that service code.
This feature cannot be enabled for a service code that already has a funding account and authorization. A new service code is required.

Mobile App Digital ID Card
A digital ID card is now available so that employees can quickly and easily show their credentials via the mobile app if needed. This quick communication tool includes the employee’s name, agency name, website, and logo, along with a configurable statement set at the instance level. To enable this feature, submit a DCI Support ticket.

Mobile App Enhancement for Employers
Employers can now sign off on vendor payment entries in the mobile app via Entries Requiring Sign Off on the menu.

New Reminders for Employers to Sign Off on Vendor Payments
Super users can enable the new Employer Vendor Payment Sign Off Required message template so that employers receive a notification requesting sign-off after a vendor payment entry is created.
An additional message template called Employer Vendor Payment Sign Off Pending is now available. Super users set the frequency of the ongoing reminder, and when enabled, employers receive a sign-off reminder message. Vendors can also utilize this message template on-demand through a newly added Send Sign-Off Reminder button (see Vendor Payment Enhancements section below).
