How do you add/edit/remove inventory for your project?

• A. To add/edit/remove inventory for your project, you need to let the HMIS Team know how many beds and/or households to add/remove/edit. Visit the Clarity Home Page, the Sacramento Steps Forward website, or contact the HMIS Team to get the link to the Google form to update your program's bed and unit inventory.
• B. Update inventory directly in the HMIS core database without notifying anyone.
• C. Inventory changes are not allowed after initial build.
• D. Inventory updates require only a phone call to the front desk.

Answer: (A)

Inventory management in HMIS relies on a formal, auditable workflow to keep bed and unit counts accurate. To add, edit, or remove inventory for your project, you should notify the HMIS Team and use the official form provided through a link you receive after requesting it. You can access the form via the Clarity Home Page or the Sacramento Steps Forward website, or ask the HMIS Team for the Google form link. Using the designated form ensures changes are recorded in the system with the correct project association and proper validation, so data stays consistent and auditable. Direct edits to the HMIS core database without following this process can bypass safeguards and lead to data integrity issues. Inventory changes after the initial build are allowed, but they must go through the approved workflow, not just a phone call to the front desk, which does not provide the necessary form-based validation and record-keeping.
