When uploading certification records, you can configure the following settings.
Settings | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
Default evidence type | Any certifications which can't be matched to an existing item can be added as evidence to a user's Record of Learning. Here, if you want evidence to be created, you can specify the default evidence type you wish to use. | - |
CSV date format | The format for dates in the CSV file, for example: dd/mm/yyyy. | - |
CSV values separated by | The separator used to separate values in the file. | - |
CSV text delimited with | The delimiter used for text values. | - |
CSV file encoding | The type of encoding used for the file. | - |
Import action | Choose from the following:
| If a record is imported for a user who is not assigned to the certification, an individual user assignment will be created for them, causing them to be assigned. Assignment (or reassignment as the case may be) occurs first, then the imported record is processed, regardless of the chosen action or outcome. If a user is marked certified during import and the recertification window opening date is in the past, when cron runs it will open the recertification window and reset current course progress. If this is not the desired outcome then Save to history should probably be selected. |
Case insensitive shortnames | When enabled, certification short names will be matched case insensitively. | - |
