What's New?
Variable Recurring Assessment Frequency
This new feature is an optional add-on to the existing optional feature for 'Recurring Assessments'. In order to see the changes outlined below, you must have both the 'Recurring Assessment' and 'Variable Recurring Assessment Frequency' features enabled.
If you would like to know more about the Recurring Assessments feature, or if you would like us to enable it for your company, please speak to your account manager or the Support Team.
A new Recurring Assessment Frequencies admin management page will allow your admin users to manage the list of available frequencies for your company
Here you can:
- Add new frequencies
- Enable/Disable any existing frequencies
- Update the Company Default Frequency
The Company Default Frequency will be used for any employees who do not currently have a Recurring Assessment Frequency selected.
The Competency Cycle Admin page will now include an extra checkbox for Recurring Assessments.
Once an Assessment has been set-up to use Recurring Assessment Frequencies, it will no longer refer back to a Duration and Periodicity specified in the Cycle, but will instead recur based on the Recurring Assessment Frequency of the employees with an active version of the Competency Cycle.
The Employee Profile includes a Recurring Assessment Frequency tile.
Clicking the tile will open a modal where you can update the employee's frequency, and see the history of changes.
If you change an employee's Recurring Assessment Frequency, then EDS may update the Window End Date of their Recurring Assessments, depending on whether the employee's frequency has increased or decreased. EDS will never update the Assessment in a way that would cause it to become overdue.
There have also been some updates to make it easier to update an employee's Support Level or Recurring Assessment Frequency. Any customers who do not have the Recurring Assessments feature enabled, will still see the updates regarding Support Levels:
- The Support Level modal has been updated to include the history of status changes, as well as including a button to directly update the Recurring Assessment Frequency when saving, so that it is easier to remember.
- The Assessment Completion page now includes a section where you can update the Support Level or Recurring Assessment Frequency, and provide reasons for these changes.
- The Create/Edit page for Support Plans will also now include the ability to update the Recurring Assessment Frequency, in the same way that you can currently update the employee's Support Level
Recorded Assessment Times on the Completed Assessment page
Currently, if an Override Start/End Date is provided for an Assessment, then the times are displayed alongside the Recorded Start/End Dates on the Completed Assessment page. However, if no Override Start/End Dates are input, then the Completed Assessment page only displays the Date.
As of this release, the times will be displayed alongside the dates for all Assessments, regardless of whether they have been overridden.
Assessment Start and End Date labels
The labels for Start Date and End Date on the Create Assessment page have been updated to Window Start Date and Window End Date so as to align terminology in EDS.
