The DCI maintenance release requires a mobile app update. The new mobile app version will be available as early as Wednesday, February 11, 2026. All users will be forced to update their mobile app as early as Thursday, February 12, 2026. Thank you for being a valued DCI customer!

Mobile App Icons - Visual Aid Enhancements

The mobile app now includes a small set of intuitive icons to help users quickly recognize key actions such as Login, Home, Client, Continue, Confirm, Cancel, and Notes without relying solely on text. These visual cues are designed to improve usability and make common actions easier to identify at a glance.

Geofencing Hard Stop

A new hard-stop geofencing option is now available for Mobile App clock-ins. When enabled on a Service Code, caregivers will be prevented from clocking in if they are outside the allowed radius of the selected EVV location.

This enhancement builds on the existing soft-stop geofence, which flags out-of-range clock-ins but allows them to proceed.

Scheduling: Definition of Late

Super Users, Supervisors, Employers and Clients with the Enable Schedule Management profile setting can now set late notifications directly on Client Schedules.

When adding or editing a client shift, schedulers can use the new Late Notification field to define how long after the scheduled start time a late notification is sent if no clock-in occurs. If a Late Notification is set on the schedule entry, it overrides the existing instance-level setting for “Late” if present. If no Late Notification is set on the schedule entry, the existing instance-level setting will continue to apply.

Late notifications are sent using the Scheduling Notify Failure to Punch and/or Critical Shift message templates. Both message templates must be active for notifications to be delivered. The recipients on message templates are configurable.
