Note

Please be mindful when configure the Apprenticeship Accountability Framework Report template, this must be set as a scheduled report to refresh at an interval of your choice, this will be crucial when setting up your Apprenticeship Accountability Framework Report Dashboard.

The same schedule must also be applied to a new or current QAR Report as QAR data will also be utilised in the AAF Dashboard.

Count / Percentage Widget

A new chart type has been added to dashboard widgets to show a count or percentage. These can be linked to a single boolean (True / False) field and simply displays the number of records which are true, or the percentage of the total number which are true.

Info

The Count Chart Type Must be linked to a boolean (True / False) field.

When selecting a target column, all indicators present in the Apprenticeship Accountability Framework Report will come through. Selecting the relevant Target column will populate the widget with the chosen column data. Learners past aim planned end date has been selected in this example below.

...

The widget displays the widget title, the requested number/percentage in the centre, the current threshold (see below) and the numbers which comprise the total. Clicking on either number will show the list of aims for that number. In conjunction with thresholds, these widgets can be used to display the AAF indicators on an “at a glance” dashboard when used alongside AAF and QAR reports.
