ePortfolio Version 3.2 Pre-Release notes

 

Version 3.2 will be released on Monday 24 November 2008.

 

This release focuses mostly on administrative changes. In order to facilitate the update, the ePortfolio will be down from 6am to 10am on that day. This extends the regular maintenance window and as always we hope to have the system available again as soon as possible.

 

The notes below cover most of the updates. These are still subject to being finalised.

 

Reporting

  • We have added in a reporting option for Deanery Administrators. This will allow the printing and exporting of information within the ePortfolio. Initially a small number of reports will be available, but this will grow in time as requirements are identified. We will be able to add in new reports periodically without needing a new ePortfolio update each time.

 

ARCP

  • We have changed the way ARCP panel members are added to the ARCP form. Instead of typing in each one individually, Deaneries will be able to maintain their own panel member lists within the ePortfolio and select these from a dropdown menu when creating the ARCP.

 

Events

  • Events should now work correctly. Deanery Administrators will be able to create events for their Deanery and users within their Deanery will be able to see them.

 

Historical Declarations

  • Each time a trainee changes post, they are required to sign the Declarations and Agreements. It is now possible to see the signing status for all Declarations in previous posts as well as the current ones.

 

Other Enhancements

  • Tidied up some of the review process for Educational Supervisors. This includes some minor re-labelling and providing links to flow through the review and removing un-needed links
  • Assessment forms – Have improved consistency across forms in regards to assessor position, have removed SHO as an option on many forms and replaced SpR with StR. This is in accordance with WPBA guidance
  • Progress to certification – Have replaced the AKT/CSA/CCT option for Deanery Administrators with the much more useful Progress to Certification.
  • ARCP – Deanery Panel Members will now be able to see ARCPs for trainees that have been signed by the Panel Chair and are awaiting the trainee’s signature. This removes the blind spot that existed previously

 

 

Bug Fixes

  • Corrected a bug with the free-text field in post creation.
  • Corrected a bug where documents with large filenames could not be uploaded.
  • Corrected a bug on reviews that displayed the wrong trainee location
  • Corrected bugs that could give errors when trying to view a review.
  • Minor Text corrections.
