You will need to have been granted admin permission to Details & Settings. If you do not have this and require it, please speak to your organisation's BlueSky lead or get in touch with our team.
If your academic or appraisal cycle differs from the default September-August, you are able to adjust this in Admin to match. If you decide to change this, please be aware the academic year will be affected throughout BlueSky including; Dashboard, Filters within CPD, Professional Objectives, Observations, Self Evaluation and the default start dates when reporting.
Please be advised that existing records may then fall within a different academic year depending on their date range.
- Head to Admin in the navigation menu.
- Select Details & Settings from the left navigation menu.
- Select Manage Settings in the top right corner.
- The first tab in this area is for Academic Year. Here you can read again about what this will affect and how it works. Your academic year cycle will always start on the first of the month, will run for one year, to the last day of the last month.
- Select the start month, from the dropdown then press Save all settings to save your selection.
- A green confirmation banner will appear with Settings successfully updated to let you know it's saved.
To confirm the change has occurred, head to your dashboard by selecting your Home tab and you'll see the new academic period here. In this example, we've changed it to run by calendar year Jan-Dec.
