History: as
customer requirements and legal frameworks change, the definitions
of a "skill" to be matched to an employee will change. In some
cases meeting criteria associated with a "skill" may split into
two. E.g. a Nurse may be a Registered General Nurse (RGN) and
require CRB (Criminal Records Bureaux) checks every year when
working for the NHS, Private employers may require a maximum
validity of 3 years.https://www.crb.gov.uk/
Thus the skill
becomes split into RGN (NHS) and RGN. AvaPA accommodates this. This
sort of situation also occurs when AvaPA is chosen to replace a
more limited system.
To allow
reporting accuracy and simple operation during splitting or
reconfiguring or importing "limited" data, AvaPA allows
requirements to be moved (for example) from RGN to RGN (NHS)
without changing any other data. This functionality is triggered
when new departments are set up. A dialog box asks if earlier
requirements are to be moved. To prevent this function being
accidentally run, it can now be disabled (and re-enabled) as
required.
