What's new on Bromcom

These updates relate to the corresponding Non-Contact Codes wTimetable release and outline how it impacts the other modules in the MIS.

Modules > Curriculum > Routines > Non-Contact Code Activities

A new Non-Contact Code Activities page has been added to the Curriculum module, providing a read-only view of all scheduled NCC activities created and processed in wTimetable.

Note: Only records starting from 1 August 2024 will be displayed.

Key Features:

• Staff Name: Click to open the Staff Details page.
• Multiple Staff: When more than one staff member is assigned, click X Staff Members to view the full list. From there, click an individual name to go to their profile, or click View All Staff and use Previous / Next to browse.

The page also includes:

• A Search field
• Filters
• A Clear All Filters button

Config > Setup > Roles and Permissions

The Non-Contact Code Activities option will have to be enabled from the Curriculum module under Routines. 

Note: If users already have a Routines permission they will automatically be given Non-Contact Code Activities permission.

NCC Group Indicator and Room Visibility

From the processed wTimetable, the following pages will now display NCC Groups marked with a "G" icon with a hover over displaying the Group Alias Name and the list of assigned staff, and all lNCC activities will display the associated Room, reflecting the ability to assign rooms to NCC activities.

• Modules > Cover > Arrange Cover
• Modules > Curriculum > Routines > View Timetables 
• Teachers
• Rooms
• Non-Contact Codes
• Staff > Staff List > Staff Timetabling > Manage Non-Contact Codes
• Staff > Staff Details > Profile > Timetable panel 
• Staff > Staff Details > Timetable

Staff > Staff List > Staff Timetabling

Anywhere that was previously labelled Timetabled has been relabelled to Non-Contact in Staff Timetabling.

• 'Manage Non-Timetabled Time' relabelled to Manage Non-Contact Codes in 'Staff Timetabling' popup

• 'Add/Edit Staff Non-timetabled Time' popup relabelled to Add/Edit Staff Non-Contact Codes.

• Right click 'Timetable Code' menu relabelled to Non-Contact Code.

Config > Curriculum > Staff Non-Contact And Duty Codes

Two new columns have been added to the Staff Non-Contact and Duty Codes table to differentiate between the two code types. When creating a new entry, these appear as checkboxes: only Non-Contact Codes will be used by the wTimetable module.

• Non-Contact Code 
• Duty Code 

Note: A code can be marked as both types.

• All existing NCC and Duty codes will default to Yes in both columns.
• When creating or editing an activity, the system will require at least one of the two options (Non-Contact Code or Duty Code) to be selected before allowing the activity to be saved.
