Summit Release Guidance

This page contains information and links to short video clips that take you through the new functionality available in the next version (1.4). 

You will need Adobe Shockwave Player installed and a good quality internet connection to view the videos.  The video links will open in a new window, which you should maximise to get the best viewing experience and there isn't any audio on these videos.


Viewing customer details and accessing their Action Plan:
You will see the details and booking record for each customer that is due to attend.  This will include their Customer Action Plan which we are now downloading from DWP's IT system.  Action Plans will appear in the Notes section of the customer record and there will also be a quick link that you can access from the customer booking.  Click here to access "Viewing the customer record and action plan" short video


Recording attendance for customers not in Summit:
If customers arrive to attend a course or support centre induction and they are not already booked in Summit, you will be able to book them onto that provision on the day.  This will allow you to include them in your attendance and course completion management information.  Click here to access "Adding a Walk In to a course" short video


Changes to attendance tasks:

  • Each task has a Red/Amber/Green status to show whether it is overdue.
  • For one day courses, you will need to actively confirm attendance and objectives completed for each expected attendee, rather than just picking those customers who did attend. 
  • Make sure you enter the details for any unbooked customers first (as above) before you process your Capture Attendance task.
  • You can "Release" an attendance task which saves whatever data you have entered already but doesn't submit it.  You can keep updating your task throughout the day, but don't forget to submit it before you go to bed!

Caseload Attendance Management for Support Centre and Launchpad:
We planned to change the way you capture attendance for these types of provision, but unfortunately our final testing didn't quite make the grade, so we hope to introduce this in our next release.


Looking Back Report
The Looking Back report will show new information for courses that run from 19th April.  It now has columns for Starts Provision, Ends Provision and how many customers are On Programme.
