Release notes
| Key | T | Release Notes Title | Release Notes Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| EP-1625 | Log In As - Do not open in new tab | All "log in as" links will now not open in a new tab in the browser to avoid confusion when working in multiple tabs. | |
| EP-1623 | EPA Manager Search | Fix to the EPA Manager Search to make the search results show | |
| EP-1619 | Mandatory file upload/E-Portfolio link is being bypassed during Gateway submission | Fixed a bug during gateway submission where a specific gateway specification set up could allow a bypass of the mandatory file upload. | |
| EP-1610 | Correcting validation message to say Town on user contact details | A correction of the user contact details validation message to say town not city. | |
| EP-1607 | Custom roles unable to be assigned | Fixes a bug where custom roles could not be assigned to user accounts. | |
| EP-1598 | Employer - Search results paging | Pagination errors when using the manage employers screen. | |
| EP-1592 | Assessment Schema Page - Filter by specialism | The specialism filter now correctly updates based on the selected standard. | |
| EP-1546 | Rewrite - Planning Meeting | The planning meeting screen has been rewritten into the new framework. | |
| EP-1495 | EPA - Extend information on availability | The EPA profile has been expanded to allow EPAs to add dates on which they are not available for whatever reason. This information is pulled into the assessment plan when booking elements and you need to select an EPA to carry out the assessment. No process changes have been made and the selection of an EPA during the booking process is the same; more information is simply available regarding the EPA. | |
| EP-1186 | EPA Calendar Export | The EPA profile has been expanded to allow an EPA to generate a token URL of their EPAPro calendar. This URL can be used in many external calendar applications (i.e. Outlook) to subscribe to the EPAs specific calendar in EPAPro where they will receive updates on meetings and assessments planned within EPAPro. Please note that this is a read-only subscription and no data is passed back into EPAPro. Furthermore if a token is regenerated for a particular EPA then the previous one is invalidated and this will break existing subscriptions; the new token URL will need to be readded/resubscribed to. | |
| EP-1183 | Rewrite - Chrome | This work replaces the surrounding areas of the layout of EPAPro such as header, footer, and menu. Furthermore these areas have been redesigned and reworked with the user experience in mind. From a technical perspective this work removes a lot of older code and moves the application fully onto the new framework. The first thing to note is that all users will now have the same layout throughout the application for consistency. This work also makes large strides towards mobile friendliness for the application and this will be expanded in later releases. This work also adds a pop up indicating when a user has been logged out due to inactivity. The menu has been restructured with a view to prioritise the items needed most towards the top for most users. Categories have been reworked to better group together common functionality and split out that which is used for an initial set up of EPAPro and that used on a day to day basis. The header is now fixed and is available application wide; it is also where the profile and logout functionality is available. As part of this work we have removed the user manager and it has been replaced with a global user search available in the header at all times. This searches all user types and the results link through to the specific user type page depending on the logged in user's permissions. Finally the notifications widget on the dashboard has been removed and you can now view your notifications from anywhere via the header by clicking on the 'bell' icon; these are updated in near real time. | |
| EP-1152 | ESFA - Screen for submitting apprentices to ESFA for Certificates | This replaces the previous ESFA screen that was used in conjunction with the, now defunct, spreadsheet. The screen shows apprentices that have completed EPA and are ready to be submitted to the ESFA so that certificates can be sent out to them. Users are given the opportunity to amend the address to where the certificate should be sent prior to submission. There are prerequisites for this functionality and the most straight forward are new fields added to the Standard and any Specialisms. Against the standard there is a new field called "External Standard Code". This is the unique numerical reference that the ESFA uses to reference the standard (sometimes referred to as a LARS code) i.e. Commis chef under Catering and Hospitality is 93. Against specialism there is a new field called "Course Option". These are the specialisms defined by the ESFA based on the external standard code (LARS code). These are supplied by the ESFA and cannot be customised. Any specialism must have one of these set otherwise submission to the ESFA for a certificate will be rejected. The final prerequisite is that before this functionality can be used we will require your ESFA API Key. The steps to acquire this are given by the ESFA below: You will need to sign back into your Apprenticeship Assessment Service account. - Select 'API Subscription' link within the 'Organisation' box at the bottom left. - If you have 'Organisation details' permissions you will now need to select 'Enable key.' - The 'API Subscription' page will then be displayed. If you do not have 'Organisation details' permissions you will first need to request this by selecting 'request the Organisation details permission.' If you have any issues obtaining this API key then please contact us and we will help you to find it. | |
| EP-1151 | ESFA - API | Backend work to communicate with the ESFA API. |
