New UI - Certification Administration

With this enhancement, the Certification Administration is upgraded with new pages. With these interface changes, no functionality changes are included.

To activate the new Certification Administration UI modifications, administrators can go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LEARNING > LEARNING PREFERENCES > FEATURE ACTIVATION PREFERENCES.

  • Manage Families and Categories
  • Update certificate for all certifications

    • Edit Due Date
    • Edit Expiration Date
    • View Details
    • Print
    • Adding external training

To access the Certification Administration, go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LEARNING > CATALOG MANAGEMENT > CERTIFICATIONS.

After

Note: The Certification Management page is in scope only when accessed from the Certification Management page. Clicking Manage from a user's transcript for certification will still display the old Certification Management page.

  • View link from Certification Proxy Enrollment page
  • View details from the Proxy Enrollment details page
  • View link for the Selection Criteria on the Proxy Enrollment details page
