Getting Started
No Login Required
When using the External Forms feature for PIT data collection, the form enforces the collection of required HMIS elements, but can be customized to add additional questions using the standard form editing tools.Volunteer Friendly
The tool offers customizable guidance for volunteers to help them successfully complete each survey.
Multi-Modal
The PIT tool understands that not every PIT interaction is verbal, and provides different data collection questions for in-person and observation only interactions.

Spot On Reporting
The Open Path PIT Tool includes the ability to collect geographic coordinates via the device in-use.
The volunteer can click the Get Current Location button when they are meeting an individual experiencing homelessness, and a pin will be dropped on the map to indicate where the interaction happened.
These pins can be seen within the Open Path Warehouse and used for reporting and data analysis in the OP Analytics tool.

Household Aware
The Open Path PIT Tool is aware that not every PIT interaction is with an individual and provides streamlined surveys for each household.
If you choose to collect the survey for a family, you are prompted to collect responses for each household member, and when imported to HMIS, the household members will remain connected.

Streamlined HMIS Enrollments
Since the Open Path PIT Tool is tied directly to a full-featured HMIS, data is fed directly into a street outreach project.
Each submission can be reviewed and turned into an enrollment individually, or submissions can be bulk converted.
The Open Path HMIS treats External Form submissions as untrusted data and sanitizes input before import and provides protections and tools for dealing with spam submissions. Before an enrollment is ever added to the project, an authenticated user must review and approve the incoming data.
