Modules>Certification > Certificant > Certification Tool

The Certification Tool certifies candidates who have completed all requirements, but have not yet been certified. You can use the Requirements Tool to mark a list of certificants as having completed all requirements.

The Certification Tool is also capable of the following:

enrolling certificants in a renewal program (if program has a renewal program)
creating a renewal invoice (proforma or terms)
updating the designation field on the individual record, if the program has a designation
assigning a certificate number

Go to Modules>Certification > Certificant > Find or Query Certificant.

Fields that might be updated by the Certification Tool

Certificant Status

If a certification status has been selected in the Certification Tool, the certificant status will be updated to the selected value.

Certification Date

For initial certifications, the Certification Tool will set the certification date.

Effective Date

For initial certifications, the effective date will be the same as the certification date.
For renewal/recertification, a new effective date will be assigned.

Expiration Date

The expiration date is calculated by adding the certification program term to the effective date.

Note: If you are trying to process more people than are in your ListDataGridMaxRows user option, then you need to run the tool in batches. We do not recommend raising this number beyond the recommended limit, or you risk processing timeouts.
