A monster upgrade for the Training Needs Analysis Matrix 🧟

The Skills Training Needs Analysis (TNA) Matrix now works across several roles at once, so administrators and managers can see workers' training needs in a single view instead of one role at a time.
Administrators and managers can now:

• Select multiple roles (or all roles in one click) and see each worker's strictest obligation across the selected roles
• Colour by obligation to see which mandatory and required competencies are met (green) or not met (red), with ignored competencies left uncoloured
• Filter by status, achieved date and expiry date, and by organisation, including secondary organisations and child organisations
• Show Roles and Organisations columns next to each worker's name
• Export the current view to CSV, including every matching row, the active filters and the selected columns

Hover over any cell to see all of its values, and use the legends in the Display menu to check what each colour and abbreviation means.
