Using the FS Diagnostic/Revision activity type
This activity type is generally used for indicating the result of the Functional Skills Diagnostic Assessment. Where the integration for either BKSB or Skills Forward is utilised, this will serve as a placeholder for the results being automatically populated upon completion of the diagnostic assessment. Please note that in order for the results to be automatically returned, the learner must access BKSB/Skills Forward via this learning plan activity link. Where the integration is not being used, the results can be manually uploaded as evidence.

Completion mode
This field allows you to determine how the activity status is updated. You can choose from two options:
- When `All evidence is accepted`: Activities are completed when all required evidence has been marked as accepted by the Tutor. The system automates status updates based on the requirement for that activity. (default)
- When `Tutor decides`: The Tutor can manually control the activity status. This includes starting, continuing and completing the activity. Please note that if evidence is set to be required this will still have to be provided before the Tutor can set the activity to complete.
Instructions
Instructions that the leaner will see when looking at the Learning Plan activity.
Evidence Required
Tick the “Evidence required” box if the activity requires evidence to be provided and marked in order for this activity to be completed. Defaults to 1 (checked).
Minimum No. Of Evidence
This field sets the minimum number of pieces of evidence required from the learner. The activity will not be set as complete until this minimum number is reached. This field is dependent on the Evidence Required field being selected.
Complete By*
You can specify the time before which they expect the activity to be completed by the learner. Specifying this field will place the activity in the correct chronological order on the learning plan.
You can choose to specify the complete by time by month, week, day or date. You can also select the No Set date option.
If you choose a date, the activity must be completed before that date.
If you specify a month, the activity must be completed within those many months from the start date of the program. For example, if you enter 1, the activity must be completed within 1 month from the start of the program.
If you specify a week, the activity must be completed within those many weeks from the start date of the program. For example, if you enter 1, the activity must be completed within 1 week from the start of the program.
