What Users Love About the App
“I have been using this software for 2 years and am very happy with it. The features I like the most include ease of use, easy to navigate, intuitive.”
“We have all five modules, and are using planning, budget, assessment, and credentialing. I appreciate the ability to change labels to suit our particular institution and the ease of uploading large files of information.”
“We have utilized custom reports for some of our needs that were not a part of the reports directory. I also like that as an administrator, I can impersonate someone to see what they are seeing. It has been very helpful for training.”
“Being able to upload existing spreadsheet information to help avoid time consuming manual entry. Also being able to export and correct data.”
“The best features I have found in SPOL is the approval process that we use for our Action Plans in the Planning module. The other great feature about SPOL is how it ties everything that an institution is doing together to assist with the Accreditation visits.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“Navigating to the correct location. Perhaps a brief description tool tip would help when you hover over titles.”
“Need to be able to customize reports.”
“While it is easy to change labels, when the reports print out, the old label is still there.”
“I don’t like is the document inventory which enables others to see documents placed in the repository who are not in your unit.”
“Very rude people!”
