The Qualification (Compact) Report concentrates on a Task as a whole, rather than its components.  With less information to be presented (i.e., the statuses of the components and the elapse date for the Task), the report information was able to fit in a portrait layout as opposed to a landscape layout, allowing more lines to a page, resulting in less pages.

The Qualification Report has long been known to be the most useful, and most widely used, report.  However, with all of its summaries, it is also one of the largest reports to generate (in number of pages).

Another difference between the Qualification and Qualification (Compact) Reports is seen in its summaries.  Compared to a regular Qualification Report, with each summary section taking up 10 lines of space on a page, the Qualification (Compact) Report summaries have been reduced to 3 lines each.  The end result of this compaction is that a report that is normally comprised of 29 pages (Qualification Report) becomes 14 pages (Qualification - Compact Report).

Qualification (Compact) Report - Detail Lines

If the Knowledge/ Capability components have been completed, their respective columns will indicate the date of completion.  However, what appears in the Task Status columns warrant explanation.

• Completion - this can be either Complete or Incomplete.

• Status - this follows an order of precedence

• I (Incomplete) - Either half of the task is incomplete without having elapsed or been revised

• E (Elapsed) - At least one half of the task has elapsed and the other half is complete, revised, non-existent or also elapsed

• R (Revised) - At least one half of the task is revised and the other half is complete, non-existent, or also revised

• A (About to Elapse) - At least one half of the task is about to elapse and the rest of the task is complete, non-existent, or also about to elapse

• C (Complete) - The entire task is complete without either half being about to elapse

Qualification Report (Compact) - Totals Summary

The summaries for the compact layout include the following data:

• Complete &endash; The number of complete tasks

• Incomplete &endash; The number of incomplete tasks

• About to Elapse &endash; The number of tasks that were given a status of About to Elapse according to the rules of status precedence.

• Elapsed &endash; The number of tasks that were given a status of Elapsed according to the rules of status precedence.

• Revised &endash; The number of tasks that were given a status of Revised according to the rules of status precedence.

• Total &endash; The total number of tasks being reported on.

• Complete (%) &endash; the percentage of complete tasks out of the total number of tasks.
