A user with the Service Feedback role can request a report of clients who have completed episodes in a specified period. This report will be in the YES-PHN invitations format.

9.2.7.3. How do I upload the individual CSV files?

The CSV files must be compressed into a single file by zipping before upload. The filename of the zip file doesn’t matter as long as it has the file extension .zip All the required CSV files must be included for each YES-PHN upload and must be named as per the specifications.

See Upload specification.

A report of clients who have completed episodes in a specified period will include the organisation_path, client_key, episode_key, episode_end_date, and episode_completion_status, this data will enable an organisation to complete the remaining columns. Either a client’s mobile or email should be completed, not both. Any clients that should not be sent an invites should be removed from the file.

Manual changes to columns A-E of the YES-PHN download file should not occur within the YES-PHN file. If this data is incorrect in the download file, it should be modified in the PMHC MDS dataset through the organisations usual method of recording the PMCH MDS data.

If manual changes are made to the episode end date or episode completion status within the YES-PHN upload file, these will be ignored when submitted through the YES-PHN invitation validation process.

9.2.7.7. How do I enter my organisation when uploading?

The PHN will be pre-filled in the Organisation field.

No. All files and records in an upload have to validate before any data is accepted.

9.2.7.15. Why am I receiving an error with my Episode Key when I downloaded the data from the PMHC MDS?

Double check that the Episode Keys in the excel file you are uploading are identical to the data in the PMHC MDS. This includes any leading zeros and prefixes.

When opening a file, Excel automatically removes leading zeros, and converts large numbers to scientific notation, like 1.23E+15, in order to allow formulas and math operations to work on them. To assist avoiding this issue, please view Microsoft support documentation on “Keeping leading zeros and large numbers” - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keeping-leading-zeros-and-large-numbers-1bf7b935-36e1-4985-842f-5dfa51f85fe7

If this change was intentional, see :How can I edit an incorrect episode records?.

9.2.7.16. I am receiving an upload error that has a code that is not in my records. What should I do now?

We have implemented an upload error log that reports when an error is not providing the relevant details. The error log code will be reported to the user after the error message, for example [ABC123ZY]

The [AW97AZRX] error code refers to our internal error log. With this error code, we will be able to quickly source you the relevant key details for this record. And this error log is also reviewed by our developers to diagnose and fix the specific error to ensure that the system reports the relevant details/keys for future uploads.

If you receive this types of errors message, please email the PMHC Helpdesk on support@pmhc-mds.com and provide a copy of the entire error message along with the error code.

If you receive an ‘unknown error’ message, please email the PMHC Helpdesk on support@pmhc-mds.com and provide a copy of the error email, and/or a screenshot if possible. The error email is important, and will assist the helpdesk to quickly identify the error, and provide you with a clear response on how to rectify the issue.
