This feature is available to Site Managers depending on configuration of the Supplemental Training feature.
This optional feature can be applied when you create a new certification. It will automatically create an internal supplemental training record associated to a user when they earn a certification. The training record will include an attachment PDF copy of the certification. PDF certifications created in this manner are accessible in the following locations where enabled for your system: Transcripts, My Progress, Certifications pages, and the Supplemental Training screen.
Other methods of creating certifications also support automatic training records. The certifications must have Create Training Record enabled.
- Manually setting a certification earned date from a user’s profile. See Expire an Individual's Certification for details. The system will inform that a new training record has been created.
- Check Eligible Users tool. See Check Eligible Users for details.
