End Dated Services should not display in the Search Results

Currently, the services end dated in the application are still displayed in the search results throughout the application.

We are requesting an enhancement request where end dated services would not display in any of the services search results. When a service has a end date they should not be selectable. The end dated services should be removed to the background like other lists in the Curam Product.

    Hi Amber,

    We acknowledge that this enhancement request has been accepted for consideration. It may not be delivered within the release currently under development however the theme is aligned with our current multi-year strategy and will be considered for a future release.

    IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting.

    IBM will update this request in the future.

    Thank you for your interest in the Cúram product.

    Additional information for Business Impact: We have multiple services with end dates and multiple with no end date. When the end dates ones display in the search result it requires the user has to analyze which services to select and which ones not to. Since the end dates are not required the user then has to un select these not applicable services which creates a great deal of extra time for the workers.

    Once our business end dates a service we either create a new service or that service is no longer applicable. Therefore we would never need to back date a service that has been end dated in the application which is why we want the option to make the end dated services not visible in the application once they have been end dated. We would never have a business scenario where we would need to back date as we would use one of the other non end dated services.

    Hi Amber,

    In order to evaluate your request further, we require that you provide more business background information.

    With the current functionality provided in the product, service deliveries with service dates in the past can be created and authorized, therefore the search needs to return end dated services for selection.

    An example is if a service has been end-dated effective 9/30/2018 and a caseworker needs to authorize a service delivery for the delivery of services that occurred on 9/29/2018.

    OOTB we have a validation message on the Schedule page of the Create Service wizard that ensures that the dated of service aligns correctly with the effective period of the service. We have attached a screenshot that shows an example.

    In your implementation do you not make use of the OOTB functionality that allows a service delivery to be back-dated, and if not can you provide a business scenario as to why this is the case?

    Thank you,
    Shane McFadden, Cúram SPM Product Management team
