We’ve updated the “Ages Open To” filter on the Placement Options Dashboard to give agency workers more control over how age ranges are matched.

Previously, the filter would only return placements where the full “Ages Open To” range covered all selected ages. For example, if searching for ages 14–18, a home open to ages 12–17 would not appear because it didn’t cover the full range.

Now, there’s a new filter option that allows agency workers to find placements open to any of the selected ages, not just those that match the full set.

Filter Options Now Include:

• Placements Open to All Selected Ages (original behavior)

• Placements Open to Any of the Selected Ages (new option)

This change gives agencies the flexibility to search for placement options based on the filtering behavior that best fits their placement needs.

We’ve updated how Children in Home (CIH) removal impacts requirements to better support audit and record-keeping needs:

When a child is removed from the home, their requirements from historical applications are preserved.

On the current application, unfulfilled requirements will drop off, but fulfilled requirement records will move to “Other / Miscellaneous” to retain documentation of what was completed.

Applicants can now only delete CIH records that have never had any requirement activity, preventing accidental loss of important history.

This ensures agencies retain a complete audit trail for all fulfilled CIH requirements.

[FIX] We’ve fixed an issue where additional requirement records were tied to a user’s role rather than the user themselves.

Now, when a user’s role changes, their completed and in-progress requirements stay linked to them.

If there’s no active requirement for the new role, the document will move to “Other / Miscellaneous.”

If a new requirement is later added for that user, the previously completed document will automatically fulfill the new requirement if it matches.

This ensures better continuity of documentation through role changes.

We’ve enhanced Binti AI Transcription to give agency workers more flexibility when uploading documents.

After selecting a file to upload, workers will now see a new step with the question:

“What would you like to do with your file?”

They can choose one or both of the following options:

- Create a case note using the content of the file – If it’s a text file, the full text will appear in the case note. If it’s a form or other document, Binti AI will summarize the contents.

- Have AI fill form answers using the content of the file – If selected, workers can pick specific forms (from a filterable multi-select list) that they want Binti AI to help fill, using information from the uploaded file.

This update gives agency workers greater control over how AI-generated insights are used—whether for case documentation, form completion, or both!

To prevent workers from losing recordings due to agency-specific session timeouts, Binti now treats active audio recording as an “active event.”

Agencies can now configure a new setting: “User Session Time Out While Recording Audio (Minutes)” on the Edit Agency and View Agency pages.

While a worker is actively recording, they will not be auto-logged out due to inactivity.

This helps protect against accidental data loss while still respecting agency security policies.

As a safeguard, all sessions will time out after 4 hours, and the recording will automatically be submitted if still in progress. This can be configured by a Binti Admin on request.
