Qualification "Optional ID" not visible in other areas

When selecting/linking the qualification during the creation of a course/class, the optional ID is not displayed and it is not possible to differentiate between the qualifications which have the same name but different Optional ID's. 

For example we have set up a qualification containing only the units for campus delivery and one containing the units for workplace delivery. Both are the FBP30121 - Certificate III in Food Processing and on one the Optional ID is Campus and on the other the Optional ID is Workplace.

Because it is not displayed in the dropdown when linking the qualification to a course/class, it's not too helpful to anyone other than the person who sets up the qualification.

We do understand that we could have one qualification with both campus and workplace units included. However, our units of study, delivery schedule and unit selections (which are set at the qual level) are different. Hence one of our needs / reasons.

In short, we love the field being added and we would like to use the Optional ID field but, because it is not visible in the areas of aXc, it's not super helpful. 

If it's not possible to add to the name / description in the dropdown because of the length of the text, you could make it so it's visible when hovering over the qualifications in the dropdown.... maybe, just a thought.

  Hi Andrew

   

  We'd recommend using the Qualification Streams feature for the use case you're describing. That does appear throughout the system. Let me know if you have any further questions.

  Hey Mark, thanks for the suggestions but we currently (when applicable) use the streams field for the offical Stream or Job Role on qualifications we deliver.

  We are extremely happy with the recent changes aXc made (adding the optional ID and Version ID fields), this allowed us to stop using that field for anything other than streams and job roles.

  We want to avoid putting our internal identification labels in the Stream filed because entering it will have an impact (if ticked) on the ASQA AQF qualification requirements. We cant have our internal ID showing up on our next to the qualification code and name on certificates with job roles or streams. 

  Thanks again
