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.
