This screen lists the characteristics records for the types of services provided.
Recording characteristics and usage placement criteria are required activities on the home study of an ODJFS provider. The status of the characteristics record changes to "Approved" when the home study is approved. Characteristics records can be approved once a usage placement criteria record has been created.
The View link allows you to review a record. The Edit link allows you to update a record in "In Progress" status. You cannot edit a characteristics record in "Approved" status. The Copy link allows you to copy an existing characteristics record in order to create an updated record. The Report link allows you to generate the JFS 01673A Child Characteristics Checklist report.
