Frequently asked questions

1) Why is course completion data not showing for a particular school?

This means no current staff at the particular school have completed the professional learning.

The dashboard links MyPL course completion data to the staff member's current position as per the last pay period. This means that course completion data will show where staff are currently based not where they were located when they completed the course.

2) Why are only some staff positions called out in the Employment filter?

The roles identified in the report specifically relate to the support of students with disability.

3) What information does the Course sub category filter provide?

A customised rollup of courses related to MyPL course categories to allow for detailed analysis.

4) What information does the Course topic area filter provide?

A customised rollup of courses linked to pre-determined disability-related topics for more granular analysis.

5) Can I view course completion data for all staff regardless of current employment status?

Yes. While the filter currently defaults to ‘currently employed,’ this can be modified to ALL to show all staff or NO – to show staff who are no longer employed. Open the chevron to the right of the report to change the filter option.

6) Can I access data older than four years?

No. Data is held for four years within the data warehouse.

7) Why can I see BLANK or UNKNOWN in some of the filters?

This occurs when no related SAP HR information has been found.
