What is an Update Plan?

An Update plan is created at an interim point during the plan year to analyze personnel activity and monitor progress towards any placement goals established in a preceding Annual plan.

An Update Plan is always linked to the preceding Annual plan, through the History Source setting. Therefore, Reference Tables, Availability figures, and other settings originate in the corresponding balanceAAP Annual plan.

Data Requirements for an Update Plan

A new data set for the interim reporting period is required, including:

  • A Roster Data table
  • Data tables for Personnel Actions
    • Applicant
    • New Hire
    • Termination
    • Transfer^

^Refer to the corresponding Annual plan to see if the Transfer table was included.
