Force a non-listed qualification to be included in the Matrix
When you manually add historical qualifications they may not be included in the matrix by default. Here's how to add them.
Go to the qualification record
If the qualification is not linked to an existing course, the button to the right of the name field will be a greyed arrow and the field label will read name (not linked). To create an internally recognised course from this qualification in order to include it in the matrix click this button.
Confirm choice
Click Yes to proceed.
No courses found message
Where there is no internally recognised course matching the qualification name, you will see this dialog. To create the course, link the qualification and include the new course in the matrix, click Create.
NOTE: Where an internally recognised course is found, you will see dialog message offering to link the qualification to the course directly.
Confirm new course details
In this dialog, add relevant details for the new course to be created. Click confirm to continue.
Confirmation
This final dialog will confirm that the course has been created and how many existing employee qualifications records were auto-linked to it. Where you have multiple employees with the same qualfiication they will all be linked to the new course and therefore they will all be shown on the matrix when required.
Click OK to continue.
