Frequently Asked Questions

• Why do I need two passwords
  Each school will be issued two passwords, one for the PD Coordinator and one for Staff members.

  Staff members password will give limited access to PD Tracker. The user will be able to submit PD Requests and also view some reports.

  PD Coordinators password will give full access to PD Tracker.

  The idea behind this was to make it easier for the PD Coordinator. When a staff member submits a PD Request an email will be sent to the Coordinator. When the Coordinator views this request within PD Tracker, they can accept it or reject it. If the Request is accepted it will be entered automatically into the PD Tracker central database.

• How does a staff member add a response to a PD
  There are 2 ways of doing this:

  1. Automatically: You can set the PD Tracker application to automatically send an email to the staff member, with a link to the PD activity, the day after the activity has been completed. This can be set in the 'Admin' section.

  2. Manually: You can manually send an email to the staff member with a link to the PD activity. This function is available via the "PD without Responses" report.

  Once the staff member clicks on the link, the Staff Response page will open, allowing the staff member to add their response to the activity.

• In Reports section, can the data be 'sorted'
  Yes, just click on the title of each column and the data will be sorted by that field.

• In Reports section, what does "Create PDF" mean
  PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format created by Adobe Systems.
  When clicking on the "Create PDF" text, an electronic version of the Report will be generated. You can then View, Print or Save the file.

• What happens when my subscription expires
  When your subscription expires you will still be able to login into PD Tracker, but you will not be able to enter/modify any data. All Reports will still be available to view/print.
  Once your subscription has been renewed you will have full access to all of your data again.

• What if I forget my password
  If you forget your password, you will need to send an email to support@pdtracker.com.au requesting a new password. This can only be sent from the PD Coordinators email address, which is set in the Admin section of PD Tracker. Once the email address has been verified, a new password will be sent to the Coordinators email account.

• Can I replace the logo on the certificate with our school logo
  Yes, once you have purchased a years subscription. Just email a good quality logo to support@pdtracker.com.au requesting it to be placed on the certificate.

• Our school is not a government school and we do not use the VELS structure. Can we replaced the word 'Domains' and 'Strands' with something else.
  Yes, just email a request to support@pdtracker.com.au stating the replacement words you would like to use.
  All reports will use the new names.
