Centre Settings

Expected Progress setting:

To help your candidates know their expected progress, activate the 'Show expected progress bar on portfolio' option within your centre settings.

The expected progress bar will appear on the portfolio front page, and is based on your Colour code settings on you Centre Settings page as show below.  Your colour code settings can be changed as desired, and to save your changes click 'Update' at the bottom of the page.

To activate the Expected Progress feature:

1.1 Go to My Centre / Manage
1.2 Select 'Centre Settings' in the Manage drop-down list
1.3 Tick the box next to the 'Show expected progress bar on portfolio' option
1.4 Click 'Update'



Once the Expected Progress bar feature has been activated, the bar will appear on all portfolios for your centre below the Overall Progress.  The colour of the bar will change (green, amber, red) depending on the difference between overall progress and expected progress, and based on your Colour code settings.  Users can place their cursor over the expected progress bar to see the exact value as a percentage.  Expected progress will adjust accordingly for any breaks in learning that are more than 42 days.

Colour Code Results on Candidate Search Page

Any User with access to the Candidate Search page can use the Colour Code Results option on the Candidate Search to highlight which of the candidates are on target (Green), trailing slightly behind target (Amber) or behind target (Red).  This is often referred to as a RAG Rating.

Users with the Quality Assurer or Learning Support Administrator role can set the Centres’ Progress Settings/RAG Rating as follows:

1. Go to the "My Centre" tab, then "Manage"
2. Select ‘Centre Settings’ from the drop-down list of manage options
3. Set your Centre expectations using the drop-down menu against each colour code under the Progress Settings section of the screen.
4. Click 'Update'

You can also find further details on the feature on this page by clicking on the ‘?’.

When on the Candidate Search screen, the colour coding can be displayed/hidden by ticking/un-ticking the option "Colour Code Results ? " located to the right of the 'Reset' button.
