Certifications - bulk update certification schedules

Hello all,

We have a dozen or so repeating annual certifications (different months), with new learners being added to each cert each year via audience. We've recently moved the certification months around, causing utter mayhem for the active certification objects (ie attended last year and allocated new date this year via cert settings). 

Is there a way of bulk updating active certifications? For example changing (extending or reducing period) the current certification expiry date for all members of a certification, or resetting all active certifications to the current certification settings? Is there a procedure available for the nuclear option (create new certification)?

If I may offer some constructive feedback, for a key system module with a degree of complexity, Totara certifications are abominably documented and almost inadministrable. I'd love to see far more administrative access to this module and its data, and a set of documents which describe its behaviour in detail. 

Thank you

Hi Andrew

It is possible to upload certification completion records with a due date. The expiry date would be recalculated for the recertification based on the due date 

What settings to use would depend on your existing certification settings.

A ticket describing the certification settings and what you are trying to achieve would help to progress this.

If you want to try this out to see the effect then upload a test record (jmport action probably certify if more recent) You can then look at the changes made to the dates using the certification completion editor  to see this is doing what you want it to 

regards
