PowerPro 2023.3

 

Power Pro 2023 - Build 3

Build 3 is now available for download. 2023 B3 is not a vitamin but it packs important fixes, new functionality and general improvements.

PowerPro Workshops 2023

PowerPro workshops are a valuable Professional Development option for users of all levels to sharpen their skills on the Student Management System. These training events are also an opportunity for networking with users from other RTOs and include the presence of a Compliance qualified person. Unfortunately due to a change of circumstances these workshops will not take place in 2023. 

Tighter Integration with Cloud Assess

RTOs using the Cloud Assess LMS will enjoy the convenience of a new ad-hoc Enrol Student function from a simple right-click on the Participant in Enrolments and Results:
 

 
A verbose view of the interaction between PowerPro and Cloud Assess is provided to the user:



Education Agents

Providers dealing with Education Agents will notice this improvement: The new Education Agent column in the Enrolments and Results participant list:
 
 
Please note: this column is only visible if the Application Options>Other>Enable Education Agents option is checked.

 

Compliance with TAMS Text File Specifications V1.2 (RAPT Reporting)

Build 3 includes support for tracking and reporting the new Residency Status field introduced with the TAMS Text File specification 1.2. The new field is found in Clients>AVETMISS as per image below:

 
 
And the RAPT reporting wizard allows the RTO to select whether to include this field in the Students file:


The above option is not checked by default until July. From that point on it will be automatically checked.

 

Smaller Improvements

Below is a list of smaller improvements packed into Build 3:

  • An option to include Non-Accredited enrolment population in the Quality Indicator data report
  • The plus (+) character is now allowed on Email address fields
  • The ability to use the Client Preferred Name field in AQF document templates (the merge field is
    pref_name)
  • The Contact Log lists/preview includes more text on each record
  • The ability to Print/Preview the User Role as a report (User Roles>Actions>Print Role
    Actions report)
  • The Class Roll shows Modules Codes for Non-Accredited Courses
  • The Trainer Scheduler view mode (Day/Week/Month/etc) is now a persistent/sticky
    option
  • The Payment plan list view now includes the Admin notes field
  • A new ESendex (SMS) configuration option to retrieve current credit after sending
    messages
  • Improvements to Client window opening time
  • The latest list of units (from TGA) for unit import

 

Fixes

These are the bug fixes of Build 3:

  • Fixed a "Malformed String" error when importing web enrolments with special characters
  • Fixed error when uploading PowerQR parchment batches larger than 100 parchments
  • Fixed Statement of Accounts issue where the "Include zero value lines" user option was ignored
  • Fixed issue with Mail Merge to Outlook>Select All action
  • Fixed intermittent issue with the listing of Lead Sources in Enrolments and Results
  • Fixed a typo on the AVETMISS address validation for NT postcodes


Registering Body Report Reminder

Just a quick reminder to all RTOs who may not have done this yet. Please ensure the Registering Body Report is emailed to the RTO Registration Manager (ASQA, WA TAC or VRQA ) before the end of June 2023. To produce this report use Reports>Compliance Reports> Quality Indicator data (Registering Body report) as per image below:
