1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Organization of the Guide
This User Guide is divided into four sections, listed below:
1.0 General Information: Contains basic information about the User Guide and the database such as introduction, scope, help desk contact
list, and acronyms used in the guide.
2.0 System Summary: This section provides information on user access levels and database concepts.
3.0 Getting Started: This section provides information on the login process and system navigation tools.
4.0 Enrollments: This section provides information on how to document client intake and program enrollments.
1.2 System Overview
The ClientTrack database was designed to track all required information related to client services and outcomes in the Texas Refugee Cash Assistance and
Refugee Social Services programs. The goals of this solution include, but are not limited to: efficient data collection, accurate client information and
program participation capture, data quality improvement, and query and report development.
1.3 Introduction
The User Guide is designed to achieve consistent use of the ClientTrack database by specifying standard practice in recording and reporting data. This
document describes the principles for collecting and managing data in the ClientTrack database.
1.4 Purpose
This User Guide supports the system usability and reliability as well as consistency in implementation of the database. Additionally, the User Guide supports
the day-to-day programs and service documentation for all Texas agencies. This User Guide will define the major processes in the collection and
management of data and the responsibilities of all individuals involved.
6 | P a g e
The overall aim of this User Guide is to ensure that data management procedures result in error-free data collection, yield high quality data for analysis
and report purposes, and demonstrate to be efficient and cost-effective. It also aims to describe good practice in data collection and management
techniques.
1.5 Scope
The User Guide is applicable to all Regional Replacement Designees (RRD) offices and agencies in Texas.
This User Guide should be used when data is collected, accessed, transferred or stored by Administrators, Supervisors and/or Users. ClientTrack is the
single data management system that will centralize, automate, streamline and enhance the process of data collection.
1.6 Database Management System
A database management system (DBMS) is a computer software application that interacts with the user, other applications, and the database itself to
capture and analyze data. A general-purpose of DBMS is to allow the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. ClientTrack
will function as the database management system for the state of Texas.
1.7 Authorized Usage
ClientTrack users must comply with the following guidelines:
▪ Information within ClientTrack is for the exclusive use of organizations administering Refugee Social Services (RSS) and Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) grants.
▪ Information is not for personal use. ▪ Each agency is accountable for creating appropriate mechanisms for protecting and maintaining the information. ▪ Agencies and/or RRDs have the right to monitor the use of the database by their employees. ▪ Agency users have no right to expect privacy in their use of the database.
1.8 Help Desk Contact List
This contact list encompasses all regional and local administrators who will be responsible for internal and external ticketing, help and support, adding
new users and deleting users, utilizing data explorer and pre-programed report usage, creating custom querying, and more. If you have any questions or
concerns, email your local Admin first and, if needed, reach out to your RRD administrator.

2.0 SYSTEM SUMMARY
2.1 System Configuration
Users are provided with a graphical user interface (GUI) to interact with the database to complete tasks such as data entering, data deletion, and data
modification, along with various queries and reports.
2.2 User Access Levels
End User include all registered users who can enter and view client data within their organizations and approved programs. Supervisors include registered users who oversee programs or ClientTrack End Users. Supervisors have the same permissions as End Users, plus
the ability to view case managers’ caseloads, assign cases, edit protected fields and delete cases. Local Administrators include registered users assigned an admin role, either within their organization or their region. Local Administrators will
have the same permissions as Supervisors, plus the ability to manage End Users (including assigning/deleting users, setting and changing passwords), run queries in data explorer for local agencies, and edit some protected fields with supervisor permission.
Regional Administrator include registered users who have the same permissions as Local Administrators, plus the ability to edit information and run reports from ClientTrack Data Explorer for all agencies within their region.
2.3 Database Concepts
User: A ClientTrack user is a person who will login to the system, create records or view records. Client: Any individual entered in the database. Entering a client’s information in Client Central Intake will create a record for that client even if the
client is not enrolled in any program. Security Organization: Your organization indicates what client information you can enter and view and how new information entered by you
should be secured. Workgroup: A workgroup is a security-related concept that represents a functional role to which a user is assigned. When a user logs in to
ClientTrack, the workgroup selected determines the database tools and functions a user can access. Users should only have access to database tools and functions necessary to perform their duties. Users may be assigned to one or more workgroups.
Form: A form refers to a screen in ClientTrack that is used to display or collect data. Depending on the user’s workgroup, data can be created, updated, or deleted.
Workflow: A workflow refers to a series of forms, tied together in a sequence. Workflows typically involve many forms and are used for complex data gathering processes.
Assessment: An assessment refers to a point-in-time snapshot of a client’s situation. Essential information is gathered about a client in areas that may include education, financial status, and employment.
10 | P a g e
Program: A program refers to Refugee Cash Assistance and Refugee Social Services programs that provide services to eligible clients. Enrollment: An enrollment refers to the client’s engagement in program services. Enrollments can be associated with assessments for reporting
purposes and with determining the effectiveness of program services.
2.4 Data Flows
Users are presented with an interface form where they can select a variety of forms; then, the system prompts the user to input specific data, which is
then stored in the database. This data can be retrieved by the user through the use of straightforward forms and reports, as well as export capabilities to
Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats.
11 | P a g e

❖ All client information must be entered and updated into Client Central Intake within three business days.
❖ Alien Numbers ▪ The alien number is used to link all client information in the database, including but not limited to: intake, enrollment and program details. ▪ All alien numbers must be 9 digits. If an alien number has less than nine digits, then enter zero(s) at the beginning of the number.
❖ Editing Client Information
▪ All users can edit most client information in Client Central Intake. However, local administrators are the only users who can edit the following data points: alien number, date of eligibility and immigration status.
▪ The Date of Eligibility is not an editable field. This field is conditional to the Date of Arrival and the Immigration Status fields. If you need to edit this date, you have to modify one of these fields depending on the immigration status: Date of Arrival to the US, Date Status Granted, and Date of Certification.
▪ If it is necessary to edit an alien number, date of eligibility or immigration status, you must send the request to your supervisors, and supervisors must send the request to the local administrator.
❖ Adding Family Members ▪ When adding a US born child to the family through the Client Central Intake, enter the social security number in both the social
security number and alien number field, select Other for immigration status, and enter the child’s date of birth in both the date of birth and date of arrival fields.
▪ Agencies that only serve individual clients through their programs are only required to enter the clients they serve.
❖ Splitting Cases ▪ Supervisor approval is required to split a case, e.g. separating a spouse or minor who turned 18 from the PA. ▪ If the PA needs to be separated from the case, you must reassign a new PA for the family before deleting the current PA from the case. ▪ Once the family member has been removed from the case, you can re-enroll the client.
❖ Deleting cases
▪ Only local administrators can delete cases. If you need to delete a case, you must send an email request to your supervisor, and your supervisor must send the request to the local administrator.
23 | P a g e
❖ Client Transfers
▪ When a client transfers from one agency to another, the original provider must close the case and notify the new service provider.
❖ Printing Information
