Portfolio Version 3.1 release notes.

 

The RCGP is pleased to announce that ePortfolio Version 3.1 is now live. This is not a huge overhaul of the system, but instead a tidy up of some areas and some navigation improvements. Details of changes can be found below:

Weekly Maintenance

Starting from Monday 18 August, we will begin performing regular scheduled weekly maintenance on the system between 7am and 8am. At this time the ePortfolio will not be available. We expect this regular downtime to be no more than an hour each week, and advise people not to use it at this time. We will also be using this period as needed to introduce patches and bug fixes. This will mean occasionally an extended maintenance period, but we will advertise this ahead of time as best as we can.

 

Enhancements:

Learning Log - We have improved the navigation of the learning log for all users. It is now possible to navigate from one learning log entry to the next without having to always go back to the main list. You can now view all learning log entries on one screen, and can jump to pages as needed.

Learning Log - New categories have been added for Audits/Projects, Significant Analysis and eLearning Modules.
 

Ticket Codes - All Ticket Codes are now valid for 6 weeks.
 

MSF - It will no longer be possible to enter MSF results without a ticket code from a trainee.
 

Office 2007 - It is now possible to upload Office 2007 documents within the ePortfolio.
 

Uploads - We have improved the uploading of documents to display progress and indicate when a file can no longer be uploaded.
 

PDP - PDP entries can now be deleted. Clicking on the Trash Can icon next to a PDP entry will give trainees the option to delete them.
 

Route to Certification - Deaneries can now easily see in Trainee Profiles if they are an Article10/Article 11 trainee.
 

PSQ summary - A key is now present showing each grade for the PSQ.
 

Skills Log - The DOPS score column has been replaced with a DOPS present column. This will show a count of the number of DOPS submitted for the skill and clicking on this number will take you to the DOPS.
 

Trainee List – Deaneries will now be able to view out-of-post trainees when looking at their trainee list.
 

ePortfolio Forms - Layout of some of the Evidence Forms has been altered to make them consistent.
 

PSQ handout – It is now possible to produce a PDF copy of the PSQ handout.

 

Bug Fixes:

 

Alphabetical Listing - Listings for Deanery Administrators, Trainee, specialty and Posts should all be consistent now.

 

Download/Save Option – This has been removed as it did not work as intended. We will revisit this at a later stage.
 

Summary Screen - When a Trainer/Supervisor selects a trainee, they will now see a summary of all evidence complete for the trainee in the current review.
 

Create/Edit a post - For Deanery Administrators, when creating or editing a post, you will now be taken back to the Post list for the trainee, instead of the evidence screen.
 

Evidence - If only one item has been submitted for an evidence type, clicking on this will no longer take you straight to the form, but instead take you to the date list, so you can see the submission date.
 

Help Documents - For Deanery Administrators, saving changes to a document in the help section will no longer remove access for all other deaneries.
 

Additional Text - Additional Text has been added to the Evidence, Learning Log, Skills

Log and other areas to give more information about the use of this section.
 

Curriculum Coverage – There is no longer an option to Rate Trainees in this area for Educational Supervisors.
 

Text Corrections – There have been numerous text corrections in many areas across the ePortfolio.
 

System Errors – We have identified several areas where errors were being produced that gave unhelpful system messages. We have corrected these and will continue to monitor and correct them where possible.
