Hello!
I have been reading up on certifications with fixed expiry dates and I am hoping for a recommendation. I'll describe what we are trying to do as well as I can.
We are assigning an audience to a certification now with a due date of Dec 31, 2020, and an active period of 1 year (so their certification will expire on Dec. 31, 2021). However, I am getting lost on the minimum active period. I was thinking to set it to 6 months, but it would be great if you can evaluate the scenarios presented below and let me know if I understand correctly how it works:
Ex:
Fixed Due date to certify: Dec. 31, 2021
Active period: 1 year
Minimum active period: 6 months
Learner 1 completes: February 28, 2021
Learner 2 completes: July 30, 2021
Since Learner 1's completion date is before the 6 month minimum active period, this learner will be prompted to re-certify again on Dec. 31, 2021.
Since Learner 2's completion date is within the 6 month minimum active period, the re-certification due date will be bumped forward 1 whole active period to Dec. 31, 2022.
Let me know if I have it right, or if you have a better suggestion for how to set this up!
Thank you!
