Setting Up the Certificant Status Drop-Down List

As an individual moves through the certification process, their status changes (e.g., applied, enrolled, certified, re-certified).

You can add, edit, or delete items from the Certifcant Status drop-down list. However, once a drop-down list item is used in a record, it cannot be deleted from the drop-down list.

You can set up the drop-down lists from the Administration module (see below) or the Certification module.

To set up the Certification Status drop-down list:

  1. Hover over the Modules tab in the top navigation bar. In the fly out menu, click Administration.
  2. Expand the Overview group item. Click Certification Set Up.
  3. Click the Certification child form tab and expand the Certificant Status child form.
  4. Click the Add icon located on the right-side of the Certificant Status child form. This opens the Certificant Status Information form.

  1. In the Certificant Status Information form, enter the name of the new status in the Status field.
  2. Enter the location in the Certificant Status drop-down list you would like the new status to appear in the Order field. A lower number causes the status to appear toward the top of the list.
  3. Enter a short description for the new status in the Description field.

  1. Click Save. The Certificant Status child form will update and display the newly added status.

The new status is now available for use, such as in shopping.

Once a status has been used from a drop-down list, it cannot be deleted.
