The Employment Outcome field has been removed from the ILR export. The field is still available within TERMS but will not be exported for 2024/25 ILR files.
ILPs – Evaluation version available
A pre-release version of ILPs is available from this release for evaluation purposes. A good working knowledge of the web survey functionality is recommended as the ILP system works in a similar way.
GetNominalDetails Function
A GetNominalDetails function has been added to the Programme Reports view.
This will provide details of the relevant nominal and the cost centre that it belongs to.
Ofsted Level
A field containing the Ofsted level of an aim has been added to the vRepStudyAimDerived reporting view to help in the production of statistics. The values shown are “Level 1 and below”, “Level 2”, “Level 3”, and “Level 4 and above”.
Planning Activity Warnings
The Update Activity screen will now show warnings where appropriate, if entered data does not match with a value in the admin system. Applies to venue, tutor, activity type, etc.
Planning Sheet Updates
New columns have been added to the planning sheet specification to allow holidays to be varied per activity, and to set the values for the four Analysis Category fields.
Registration Triggers Enhanced
Triggers can now be configured to send emails to the primary staff member or third parties (requires a specific email address) when the criteria for the trigger have been met.
Skills Network Course Browsing
If the ePortfolio link for Skills Network (SN) has been selected you can now browse the current list of SN courses to select the one to link an Activity to.
Standard Dashboard Charts
There are now some standard dashboard charts to choose from when creating Dashboard charts for the web.
