  Functions that seem to be unavailable  
   

Certain things have to be done in the right order. For example:

  • The Co-ordinator is not offered the button for approving an Award until all of the sections have been approved as completed.

  • The Co-ordinator is not offered the button for completing a section until the Participant has requested such completion (which, curiously, he/she is able to do without having submitted any Evidence. Co-ordinators should not approve completion under these circumstances, as the Keeping Track page is required as a minimum).

  • The Co-ordinator is not offered the button for approving an Award if there is any Evidence awaiting approval, and the button for approving it is not available until the Participant has pressed the Request Approval button

So the golden rule for Participants is that after entering Aims, Objectives, Evidence, etc, they must always navigate to the bottom of the page to find the Request Approval button and press it. This is counter-intuitive, as Young People tend to assume that everything relevant is visible without navigation, and that if they press any old button the system will know what they intend.
