As of Cobalt 3.11+, we introduced the ability to collect/require additional candidate credentials when going through certain initial application pathways.
Set Up
This is functionality is configurable via the Initial Certification Application Type record with the "Certification Required" boolean and a new "Accepted Certifications" relationship to the Application Type.
Initial Certification Application Type:
Certification required - Yes/No flag that determines if additional credentials should be
Accepted Certifications:
Related to the Initial Certification Application Type record are the accepted certification lookup. This lookup determines what certification types will be accepted when going through the initial certification application process.
Process
Candidates going through initial application will be asked to upload documentation to prove their existing certification.
If the contact record of the candidate already has an active Certification with any of the identified accepted certification types, then this page will automatically be skipped.
Note: If the candidate has submitted documented of their credentials (ie. they did not already have an active Certification record of an accepted certification type), then staff will need to manually verify that the submitted documentation is sufficient or accurate.
