Overview
This guide explains how to prepare and configure the PICSWeb integration for the first time. If your organisation previously used the PICS Desktop Onefile integration, additional steps may be required before enabling the new connection.
PICS Desktop Onefile Integration
Customers already using the PICS Desktop integration should follow Pellcomp’s guidance before enabling and configuring the PICSWeb integration.
Existing Data in Onefile
If Assessors or Placements already exist in Onefile, these must be manually updated in PICSWeb. This prevents the integration from creating duplicate records. To do this, link each Onefile Assessor or Placement to the correct record in PICSWeb.
Please refer to these guides:
- Linking Assessors (OneFile) to Officers (PICSWeb)
- Linking Placements (OneFile) to Organisations (PICSWeb)
Refresh Qualification Links
To retrieve the most up‑to‑date list of learning aims from Onefile, click the Refresh Qualification Links button located in the Integration Status section of the Onefile Summary page in PICSWeb.
Link Apprenticeship Standards
If you deliver Apprenticeship Standards, you will likely want the standard, on‑programme learning, gateway, and EPA learning aims to sync with PICSWeb.
To enable this, match the codes used for each learning aim to the VQ reference fields in PICSWeb. These learning‑aim codes appear in square brackets after the learning aim title on the Learning Aims page for Centre Managers or User Managers in Onefile.
For more information, refer to this guide:
