• On this screen, previously there were links across the top of the page for each year. This has now been changed to a drop-down menu to make the page more user friendly.

 

• As part of this change we have also automated the process to populate future years by showing years from the week 1 start date up until 2 years past the last financial period’s date.
• For example: If the week 1 start date is 3rd July 2006 and latest financial end date is ’25 Jun 2018’. The number of years between these two is calculated is 12. We then add 2 in this so it will display a total of 14 years.
