Edit screen workflows in a Google Drawing and the new course flow for context.
Edits to one field can affect another. Changes should always lead to a ‘Confirm your changes’ screen, and only after confirming will they be persisted. If a course is already published the changes will go live straight away. We need this mechanism first.
Then we should focus on fields providers edit in-cycle:
- Locations
- Full or part time
- UCAS pending GCSEs and eligibility
We might also want to make the following editable to improve data, and for languages to improve how findable some courses are:
- Outcome
- Age range
- Languages
Further education screens are probably out of scope for MVP.
Summary
Screen | Notes | Priority | Complexity | Always editable |
---|---|---|---|---|
Level and SEND | Level has a significant effect, rarely changed | Low | High | No |
Subject | Also affects languages and title | High | High | No |
Languages | Only used by secondary languages courses but can be set badly. Might effect title. | Low | Medium | Maybe |
Age range | Missing for all courses, we need to capture this | High | Low | Maybe |
Outcome | Inferred from UCAS, this has often been wrong | High | Low | Maybe |
Fee or salary | Changes the enrichment fields shown (eg fee fields vs salary fields) | Low | High | No |
Apprenticeship | This will also affect fee and salary enrichment fields (apprenticeships are salaried). Some existing apprenticeships might not use the right route. | Low | High | No |
Full time or part time | Changes can affect locations (eg some locations may not offer part time) | Medium | Medium | Yes |
Locations | Schools are added and removed in cycle. For courses which are both full or part time, each location must indicate which type of vacancies it offers (full, part, both). | High | Medium | Yes |
Accredited body | Only affects school direct providers | Low | Low | No |
Applications open | Most relevant when creating a course. Shows different values depending on current cycle vs next cycle | Low | Medium | No |
UCAS GCSEs pending | Change in cycle in response to application numbers | Medium | High | Yes |
UCAS Equivalency tests | Change in cycle in response to application numbers | Medium | High | Yes |
Start date | Rarely edited | Low | Low | No |
Title | Changes to titles need to be approved | Medium | High | No |
Confirm changes | All edits must be summarised before confirming | High | High | – |
