In order to assign a Target Scan to a applicant, they must first have a Target allocated to them.
A target in PICS Web refers to the knowledge skills and behaviours derived from the learning aim of programme. This target is then used to measure the learners competency against it’s relative knowledge, skills & behaviours.
We can access the Target Scope via the applicant summary page
With no target currently present against our applicant we can assign a target by selecting the button titled ‘Select Target’
We’re presented with a list of aims that are linked to this applicant. Select the aim that you wish to target scan the learner against.
Once this has been saved, the target for the aim will then display individually broken down to outline all knowledge, skills & behaviours. Any previously taken target scan results will also display here, allowing all parties to review the latest, and initial answers.
If your applicant is linked to a Target, the Target Scope tab in the Applicant Summary displays the Scope Items linked to the target as well as the results of their Target Scans.
Scope items are divided into sections for Knowledge, Skills, Behaviours and Other. For each scope item, the following details are shown:
Code
Title – Selecting this will open the corresponding Applicant Scope Item Summary.
Evidence Files – This icon indicates how many evidence files have been attached to the scope item. Selecting this will open the Evidence tab in the corresponding Applicant Scope Item Summary.
Percentage achievement – This is defined by the Stage chosen for the item in the most recent Target Scan.
Scan Results
As well as a list of scope items, the target scope tab displays the results for the most recent Target Scan for Knowledge, Skills, Behaviours and Other scope items. The results are displayed in a diagram with a corner for each scope item in the category and points showing the stage reached by the applicant.
Hovering over each point in the diagram will display the exact result for the individual scope item.
Setting up stages for each scope item is explained in the Scope Item Summary page.
Depending on your choices when filtering the scope list, a second shape in a fainter colour will show the results achieved in either the Initial or Previous target scan for you to compare against the most recent one.
Filtering the Scope List
The following searching and filtering options are available by default above the list. Once you have entered the necessary details, press Enter or select the Search icon to run the search and apply your filters.

Exporting the Scope List
Selecting More shows an option to Export to Excel. Selecting this will generate an Excel Spreadsheet containing the details currently displayed in the list.
Linking a Applicant to a Target
If you have not yet linked the applicant to a target, this tab will instead show a button to Select Target.
Selecting this will open a window where you can search for a Target to add. Only targets that are set up for the same Standard or Framework as the applicant will be shown in this list.
