Changing Course Certification Information Defaults

Changes can be made to a course's certification information defaults when the course requirement is in Prereleased or Current status by using the Change Defaults functionality. Changes to the defaults will be propagated to the user's profile without having to deactivate and re-activate the role requirement.

In the course tree on the left side of the Course record, click the Certification Information link.
Result: The course certification information is displayed.
Click Action > Change Defaults.
Edit the appropriate information:

Field	Description
Complete Within Duration Days	Specify the number of days allowed for completion of the requirement. If not specified, the completion date is the day the requirement is associated with the Person record.
Revision Certification Required?	Check this checkbox to require revision certification. NOTE: If revision certification is not required on a requirement, then when a new revision of the requirement is released, the revision certification automatically transfers to users who already completed the requirement.
Refresher Certification Required?	If this checkbox is checked, a refresher certification is required.
Refresher Interval Days	Specify the number of days the user has to take the refresher certification.
Grace Days for Refresher	Specify the number of days after the refresher interval occurs that an individual must be re-certified. If the refresher is not completed within that time frame, certification is expired.
Refresher Advance Notice	Specify the number of days in advance the Person must be notified to take the refresher.
Requires Retraining if Previously Trained	This is used for refresher certification only. This field specifies whether individuals must retake the training even if they have taken it in the past. The following three elements of training are evaluated: Training, Assessment, and Checklist. Always - If selected, the person must always retake the training, no matter when it was taken in the past. Never - If selected, the person does not have to retake the training, no matter when it was taken in the past. Duration - If selected, the person must always retake the training using elapsed time, no matter when it was taken in the past.
Elapsed Days	Displays the number of days within which the retraining is required. This field is only required if Duration is selected in the Requires Retraining if Previously Trained field.
