๐ How Staff Certifications work
- Add certification drop-down values to define the types of certifications your organization tracks and provide a consistent list when creating certification records.
- Assign certification records to individual staff members and include details such as certification type, issue date, expiration date, and status.
- Jackrabbit automatically updates certification statuses as expiration dates approach or pass, making it easy to identify certifications that require attention.
- View upcoming and overdue certifications in the Alerts section on the Executive Dashboard, which provides quick visibility into certifications that need to be renewed.
- List all Staff Certifications from the Staff menu > Certifications.
- When a certification is renewed, add a new certification record to preserve previous certifications as historical records while maintaining the staff member's current certification status.
