Enhancements
Add multiple custom form steps into a single onboarding wizard
Aptem clients each have their own unique process for onboarding and enrolling users. To help support our customers in following their operating model we have extended the use of custom forms. Clients can now add as many custom forms to a single onboarding wizard as they would like. This allows them to break down the information they capture into manageable sets of information for the user to understand and populate avoid an excessively large form. This is an exciting addition that offers a fantastic user experience for onboarding and enrolment.

Define your own custom step labels
Aptem clients typically follow their own process for onboarding and enrolling users and in many cases this involves using their own terminology. To help align the onboarding process to your own flow we have updated the onboarding wizard so that you can configure the name of each step with your own custom name.

Review custom forms directly from within a review
With all the increased flexibility within the onboarding wizard we have identified how useful it would be to help simplify surfacing that information in a review. To that end, we have added the capability for you to select within a review step to surface the results of a custom form so that it can be viewed without having to leave a review section.

Employ Dashboard
The Aptem Employ dashboard has been designed to be used by anyone in the business who may be involved in supporting jobseekers to find employment. Displaying comprehensive jobseeker information and powerful analytics in one dashboard provides real-time insights into the activity of jobseekers and those involved in supporting them.

Offset an ILR start date in an ILR template
In some cases clients will want be running a programme where a component aim is not planned to start on the same date as the overall start date. For example, this might be where the Functional Skills are intended to start in the second month or where qualifications are staggered. Rather than having to update this manually we have added this capability into an ILR template so you can more fine grained control over the resulting ILR without the additional effort.

Minor improvements
A few other small changes in this release:
-
We've simplified the signature declaration page that users are presented with when they have registered
-
The system will now ensure that your compliance documents are signed in the correct order. This only applies if you are using our standard Apprenticeship Agreement and Commitment Statement templates.
-
We've added the "Last workshop attended date" into the Users Generic Report (UGR)
Bug fixes
The following bugs and frustrations have been dealt with in this release:
-
Currently Aptem creates episodes and ILRs without aims when a learner completes an onboarding or eligibility programme. This is irritating so we've stopped this happening.
-
When uploading a profile picture we limited the file size and it was a bit too small. You can now use images up to 1MB in size.
-
When you cloned a programme we didn't transfer documents attached to the learning plan component. We've now fixed this.
