Compass Updates 10th March 2016

Updates to Compass since  the 10th March 2016 – Appointments Reports

Over the past few weeks we have made a few changes to Compass and the support website on the back of the feedback you have been providing to us.

Updates to Compass –

  • The Appointments Reports have were taken offline earlier this week to make some enhancements to them, unfortunately they did not come back online as quickly as we would have liked. The Reports are back online and we have updated –
    • A fix to ensure the line manager reflected the line manager on Compass.
    • A fix to ensure the fields in the Appointments Process matches Compass (this includes Commissioner Approval, AAC, Reference’s, Committee approval and CE check).
    • The dates for the Mandatory Ongoing Learning reflect Compass.
    • Some of the headings have been updated to better reflect the data being shown in the column.

If you do have any questions about these changes please contact the Information Centre.

 

Compass Updates 10th March 2016

Updates to Compass since  the 18th February 2016

Over the past few weeks we have made a few changes to Compass and the support website on the back of the feedback you have been providing to us.

Updates to Compass –

  • The Appointments Reports have been taken offline temporarily to make some change to them based on feedback from members. The reports will be made available as soon as possible. Please check back here for any further updates.
  • We have converted the Support Videos to make them downloadable for use offline, click here to access the downloads.
  • Small changes to user permissions to provide the correct access within Compass, see here for the full set of user permissions.

Update 5:30pm –

On the 18th February we explained that a number of roles were showing the incorrect role status (Pre-Provisional, Provisional or Full) and a small number of roles would need to be moved back from Full to the correct status. This work was completed today, if whilst showing incorrectly as Full, elements of the Appointments Process (AAC, Commissioner approval, training etc) have been completed, the record on the approvals page will need to be updated. If a CE check is outstanding (and this is the only part of the approval process left to complete) this will be processed by HQ within 14 working days.
