Release Notes 5.5 - 10th December 2024

DAS Cohort Reference

We have made changes to this field in the 'Personal Details' section to increase the field size to a maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters.

 

Bug Fixes

In this release, we have fixed the following bugs:

  • Deleted ILR aims reinstated following a return from break: We have resolved a bug where aims that had been deleted in the ILR prior to a break in learning were being reinstated incorrectly when the learner returns from the break. 
  • Incorrect Apprenticeship duration in the Funding document: In some cases, the Apprenticeship duration value in the Funding document was incorrectly formatting the value as both months and weeks.

Please note your reports may be blank for a brief time afterwards.

 

Standard Reports

The "Reg and Cert" report now has more status options for learners who were previously "null." Along with our existing values (awaiting certificate, ready to claim and unregistered) we now populate the learner outcome if present and the status “registered”. Previous statuses will take precedent ensuring your usual processes can still be followed.

 

OST missing signatures

We have enhanced the "Missing Application Signatures" reports in standard reports and employer reports to now contain OST missing signatures. This will only be checking for Application Summary signatures for OST learners and will only flag a missing employer signature if an employer is attached to the application and expected to sign the document.

 

Bug Fixes

In this release, we have fixed the following bugs:

  • Previous years impacting Standard reports: simple achievement rates report has been resolved
  • Trainer status slicer in standard reports is now working
  • Benchmarking: Some test and demo tenancies were appearing in the rank which has now been resolved. We have also made some minor UI enhancement to improve clarity on the report as well as improving render times for these pages.
