Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manipulate, convert and integrate data between two or more different commercial software applications.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine work requirements
- 1.1 Identify the task requirement
- 1.2 Select appropriate software and file formats to perform required work
- 1.3 Obtain organisational documentation, such as procedures, manuals and guides and use when appropriate
2. Integrate data across different software application packages
- 2.1 Create a mailing list using a database, spreadsheet or address book, and merge mailing list with another document
- 2.2 Use software application package conversion tool to convert data from one format to another to enable additional work on the converted data
- 2.3 Save data to a new file format
- 2.4 Import objects from another software application package and modify as required to produce a required outcome
- 2.5 Export data to another software application package to produce a required outcome
- 2.6 Create a link between one software application package and another, and use this to update information to a document
3. Save and retrieve data with the aid of help functions
- 3.1 Save data to disk
- 3.2 Convert data to a new file format
- 3.3 Re-access data and check information
- 3.4 Access user help documentation or other resources for basic difficulties with software application package

Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
select appropriate software and file formats
create mailing list and merge with another document
manipulate, convert and integrate data between commercial application software following organisational procedures.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
use of PC and printer
use of software currently used in industry
documents detailing organisational style guide and policy
documents or information containing data suitable for use with multiple computing packages
appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of required software applications
direct observation of candidate converting and integrating data between commercial software applications
review of data or documents prepared by candidate demonstrating a wide range of features from integrated packages.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
