Read the Compliance Radar
Tom opens Compliance Radar to see where Claymont stands. This page walks the screen panel by panel and says which figures are real. Four of the five panels show numbers that are not measurements of your sites. One panel is real, and it needs one click to appear.
Before you start
Nothing needs setting up. The page opens with no site chosen and shows the whole organisation. The Compliance Radar entry appears in the menu for every signed-in account, including roles that cannot use it.
Step 1: open Compliance Radar
Open Compliance Radar from the menu. The page shows a grey placeholder for just under a second before drawing anything. That is normal.
Step 2: skip the OCCL Compliance Overview
The large gauge reads 0% with "Org Average" under it, then "-1.2% from last quarter", and no per-site gauges appear.
None of that is a measurement. The gauge averages a list the page never receives, so it is always 0; the -1.2% is fixed text; the missing gauges are the same empty list. The badge beneath reads "No inspection data available", which is true: the records it would read are never created.
Do not read a compliance score off this panel. There is none to read. See How the compliance score is calculated.
Step 3: use three of the six area cards, and only the lower half of each
Every card's headline percentage, top right next to a trend arrow, reads 0%. That figure comes from the same empty list as the gauge, and the arrow beside it points the same way on every card every day.
The lower half of three cards is real, because each has its own feed:
| Card | Lower half | Trust it? |
|---|---|---|
| Documentation Completeness | One bar per personnel file requirement, complete out of total | The counting is right and it reads 0 out of the staff count for every requirement, because no personnel document can ever be marked verified. See Build a personnel file. |
| CACFP Compliance | One line per CACFP record with its status and last submission date | Yes. Ignore the Meals vs Present bar beneath it, which is made by multiplying the headcount by 0.85. |
| Incident Reporting | Four tiles and an OCCL progress bar | Partly. Open always reads 0; Avg Resolution is a fixed 18.5 hours; OCCL Submitted and Overdue Follow-ups read 0 out of 0 because the page never receives those figures. |
The other three cards:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Staff-to-Child Ratios | Bars from the live ratio feed, which never reports a breach. Show Details prints fixed words about the Wilmington club whoever you are. |
| Credential Currency | A donut and valid, expiring and expired counts that are permanently 0, 0, 0. Use the Credential Tracker panel instead. |
| Safety Records | Nothing, ever. Nothing in PTRS creates a safety record. |
Step 4: click a sort pill to make Credential Tracker appear
Credential Tracker, All Staff is the one panel that reads real data from end to end: every active staff member in your organisation, every credential they hold, the days remaining and a colour band per credential.
When the page first opens it says "No staff found, No staff members found for the selected location." That is not a data problem. Click any of the three sort pills, By Expiry, By Location or By Type, and the full list appears at once. Changing the site in the header does the same.
Step 5: expand a staff row for the detail
Click any row. A table opens with Credential Type, Expiry Date, Days Left and Status for each credential.
The colour bands are red past expiry, orange within 30 days, amber within 90 days, and green beyond. The Status column uses only two lines, expired past expiry and expiring soon within 30 days, so a credential expiring in 60 days is labelled Valid in the table while its bar segment is amber.
Tom sorts By Expiry. Denise's First Aid card is orange, 24 days left. That is the one thing on this screen he can act on today.
Step 6: ignore the alerts table and the inspection simulator
Active Compliance Alerts shows a count badge that always reads 0, and the only rows it can ever hold are made up in the browser from the ratio feed. Resolve and Assign on a row show a message and do nothing. Nothing in PTRS can resolve a compliance alert.
OCCL Inspection Readiness Simulator reads inspection records that nothing in PTRS creates. It says "Last simulated: Never" and "0 compliance checks" before you press it, and FULL PASS with 0 passed, 0 warnings and 0 failed immediately after. Generate Remediation Plan and Share with Board say the plan was "sent to all site directors" and the report "shared with board members". Nothing is sent or shared.
What you now have
The organisation's real credential position: who is expired, who is expiring, and by how many days. And you know that the percentages, the alert count and the inspection verdict on the same screen are not measurements.
What to use instead
| For | Go to |
|---|---|
| Whether one person can work | Record a background check and Record a credential |
| Mandatory training coverage | Track training compliance |
| The ratio at a site right now | Read the ratio monitor, and its warnings |
| OCCL notification deadlines | Advance an OCCL notification |
| Licence expiry and inspection history | Find a site |
| Getting ready for a visit | Prepare for an OCCL inspection |
When something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Access Denied, You do not have permission to view compliance data. | Your role cannot use Compliance. Staff members and guardians see this. | Not fixable from the screen. |
| "Failed to load compliance overview" and "Failed to load compliance alerts", with the other panels drawing | PTRS refused the figures. For a read-only account this is the normal outcome. | Sign in as a site director, regional director or administrator. |
| Credential Tracker says "No staff found" | The panel drew its list before the staff arrived and does not redraw | Click any sort pill, or change the site in the header |
| Every area card reads 0% | Expected. The page never receives the figure. | Use the lower halves, as in step 3 |
| Live updates never arrive | The messages this page listens for are never sent | Reload the page |
