  • Green: this means they are always valid,
  • Red: this means they are invalid or

Note

If there are forbidden characters in the certification, for example a stress above an alphabetic character, Avendoo® generates a certification and a training inventory entry for the user, but the PDF file is missing.

If you click the button Show filter, you will see the filters Title, Validity (Valid, Expires soon and Expired) and Time period (Start and End date). Via clicking the appropriate line you select the filter, which can remove via click on X. You close the filter list via click on X.

Examples for uploading a file
If you want to replace a certification file, because your own data has to be updated (you got married and your last name has changed for example), you can do this via the button Upload file.  This button is only shown under the certification, if the author has assigned you the user right Replace own certification file. If you click on this button, the dialog window of the explorer opens and you can replace the certification file. Furthermore you can replace an existing certification file with an original certificate of an external provider. Note that the function Replace an own certifcation file is only relevant since the new frontend.

Qualifications

As soon as qualifications are created, you see them listed on this tab.

On this tab you get an overview of qualifications regarding title, Scale value and note.

Since version 17.44 you see, if the author has configured a downgrading for your qualification (see first screenshot) and when the next downgrading will happen. When you click the corresponding qualification with downgrading, you see the downgrading history (see second screenshot). There are also training inventory entries generated, you can see on the tab Training history. Your superior can also edit or delete your qualification in the Employees view of the cockpit.
Example:
You have received the qualification on 02/16/23 and the next downgrading is on 03/02/23. This means, the author hat configured a 14 days rhythm for the downgrading process. The downgrading will happen as long as the lowest scale value or level will be reached. If “Expert with medium knowledge” is the highest scale, you will get on 03/02/23 the next lower scale, this means “Expert with lower knowledge”. This downgrading process will happen each 14 days, until the lowest scale “Beginner with low knowledge” will be reached.

Via drop down fields you can filter by Qualifications profile and Comparison profile. You can click the corresponding qualifications in the qualification profile and then you see all course activations activated for you and with them you can close a “qualification gap”.

To add a qualification, select a qualifications profile (the selection is corresponding to the assigned roles of the appropriate employee) and click on the button Add qualification. Then you select the Qualification and the Scale value and you enter a note regarding your decision and click on the button Confirm. If needed you can Cancel entering the data. You can edit or delete the added qualifications. Now you see in the overview of the qualifications, if a qualification with the needed scale value is achieved.

Via the selection Comparison profile you can show a comparison profile, which are available in the client.

The author with administrative rights can define the columns of the qualification table and the qualifications profile table. Further information you find on the page System settings.
The “Current trait” is hidden in the qualifications profile table in the second screenshot for example.
