Public House Setup App
A Salesforce App where organizations can manage OAuth authorization of Public House, Cloud Storage authorization and other general settings.
- Salesforce Authorization
- Google Drive Configuration
- Dropbox Configuration
- Amazon Web Services
- Public House Settings
The Public House Setup App is only configured to be accessed by System Admin or Homekeeper Admin profiles – because those two profiles have the permissions required to authorize Public House. You may make the PH Setup app visible if necessary. Read here about including additional profiles.
In Q2 we rolled out the new OAuth tools. The initial authorization was done with the Salesforce user you have provided for us. You are welcome to change that to another user.
Public House Automated Upgrades
Public House has built out the infrastructure to automate deploying package and class upgrades to clients. This will reduce our deployment turnaround times and costs – allowing us to focus our development budget on development.
Zoho Electronic Signatures
We are doing API testing with Zoho’s electronic signatures. Our current costs with HelloSign are prohibitively high. If we can find better cost options, we can save our community money.

HUD Standard Weekly & Bi-weekly Income Calculations
In calculating income for bi-weekly or weekly pay periods, HUD assumes an even 52 weeks per year instead of the more accurate 365/7=52.14.. weeks per year. Public House has updated our income calculations to be consistent with HUDs methods.

Required Document Type Change File Deletions
When a Household Member Role or an Asset, Debt or Income Source Type has changed the system currently deletes all the associated Required Documents. This will be updated to keep any Required Documents that are common to both the previous and new Role/Type. For example, if an Asset Type is changed from Savings to Checking, and both Savings and Checking have a Bank Statements Required Document. The Bank Statements will not be deleted.
