To begin, navigate to Tools > Rollover>Start to access the ‘Create New Rollover Period’ screen. This is where Stage One of the Rollover Process is initiated.
STEP 1: Enter a 'New System Period' description and check the ‘Create New System Period’ tick box.
The ‘Description’ should describe the next period and will be the reference to the period when it is archived in the future. E.g.: 2014/2015.
STEP 2: Now click the Create new period button. A message will be displayed notifying the user that the rollover process cannot be reversed. Click OK to continue. Another message will confirm that a new system period is created.
| Info |
|---|
Note: The system does have the ability to ‘rollback’ a stage 1 rollover copy, so therefore it can actually be reversed if really need be. |
Once a new System Period has been created, tick the tick box ‘Would you like to replicate the current period’s data to the next period’, to copy the data from current period to your new system period. After doing so the page will refresh for you to then go through and tick/untick each of the areas of Camms.Strategy® which you would like to copy to the next period.
| Info |
|---|
Note: If you do not tick this field, you will be left with a completely blank database to start from. This includes the organisational structure, staff, and planning and is not a common requirement. If you are not sure, then tick the checkbox. |
STEP 3: You can select the data you wish to copy over to the next period by checking the desired tick-boxes.

The configuration section is used to change some logic of the data you are copying:
Action/Task Configuration | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Set all Actions to Not Started Status | Ticking this box will set all Actions and tasks to not started status.
| ||
*Exclude Actions Linked to Projects | Ticking this box will exclude actions linked to Projects (from Project Management area) from having their status changed. The status will remain as is, not affecting Projects. | ||
Set Date Range | Setting a start and end date will reset all action and tasks start and end dates within the next period.
| ||
Clear Action Progress Comment | If you would like to remove all action progress comments and prevent them from being copied over, please tick this box. If not ticked, all action progress comments will be copied to the next period. | ||
Exclude Existing Action Targets | Ticking this box will remove all existing action targets in the next period – action targets will be blank in the next period. Action targets will copy as default from current period to next period if this is left un-ticked.
| ||
Exclude Existing Tags |
| ||
Other known limitations or areas to consider |
|
The system has a lot of linkages and dependencies so some of the data will need to be brought over in order to bring over other dependent data. For example, you cannot copy over the Strategies without the Goals and Outcomes.
If you utilise the Integrated Risk Manager, you must select the Environmental Analysis and SWOT fields in order to rollover risks correctly. Failure to do this may make your risk data inaccessible in the Next Period. Risk Rating type does not rollover when performing a standard rollover and the Risk Manager will not be allowed to delete any Risk Rating type after the completion of your system's first rollover, as they are linked to previous system periods.
To ensure that an item is going to be copied across to the Next Period, ensure that the box is ticked on. If you do not wish for the information to come through, remove the tick.
The following data needs to be considered:
Component | Description |
|---|---|
Framework | Include all framework areas. The following rules will apply;
-Unticking Staff will disable the following selections
|
Planning | Include all framework areas. The following rules will apply;
-Unticking Staff will disable the following selections;
|
Custom Hierarchies | Include planning areas except Performance Management; i.e. Strategic and Corporate Business Planning
|
Service Delivery |
|
KPI Linkages | Include Service delivery sections
|
Modules | Include all KPI linkages. Note that KPIs will not rollover. Only KPI linkages to planning and organisational hierarchy will rollover |
Action/Task Configuration | Include other modules such as Executive Reporting and Risks. This will rollover all risk details including any linkages and risk solutions |
| Info |
|---|
Note: KPIs, Scorecards, and Dashboards are not available for rollover although you can choose to retain any existing linkages within the upcoming period. |
Let's look at the two most common methods of selection for rollover:
The first most common option is undertaken when an organisation has a significant change to their strategic document or a complete rewrite which will result in business plans being developed from scratch.
For this option, the simplest approach is generally to copy only the Framework details and no other fields. This will give you a ‘Blank slate’ to commence developing your plans from for the next period, whilst still keeping the basic information such as organisational structure and staff.
2. The second most common method is to copy across all fields available.
STEP 4: Once you finish selecting the required fields, click Copy Data to proceed with replicating information to the next period. A message will display notifying that the copying of data cannot be reversed. Click OK to continue.
Successful data transfer indicates the completion of Stage 1 of the Rollover Process. Wait for the page to refresh (please do not navigate away at this stage or you may risk the rollover stage 1 not being completed successfully).
Once completed, the page will refresh back to the home page and you will be able to see the Current period/Next period buttons. The next period is your new system period.
| Info |
|---|
Note: If you do not see these buttons, you will need to set up the security: navigate through the Administration menu to the Administration Options > Settings. |
When the page loads, ensure that the ‘show system period pane’ value is ticked. Ticking this ensures that the button will be activated for all those who have security to do so.
If you require ALL users to be able to see next period and have access to next period, you can switch on the ‘Enable System period permission boost’. This means that all users will automatically have this enabled when they log in. If you don’t have this ticked, then the users who are to have security, you will have to setup via the Manage Users > Security area (see below).
Another setting which you may want to enable here is the ‘Make current system period default’. This will ensure that no matter what period you are in when you log out and log back in, it will ALWAYS default back to the current period.
4. To set up security (if you do not have the permission boost setting switched on) navigate through the Admin> Manage Users. Locate the person/s you want to give access and tick the security level ‘Next business cycle’, and then once saved they will have access.
This needs to be updated
To navigate between system periods, simply click on the top menu ‘Current period’ and select the ‘next period’. To navigate back, do the vice-versa.
A warning will always be displayed when switching periods so that you don’t accidentally click on it without saving the page you are on. Click OK to continue.
You may now start amending your plans and data in the next period, whilst completing your current period reporting. Any changes made in the next period will not change current period, vice versa, except for the performance management area.
