Settings only ever add to the fixed rules. With nothing set, everyone needs exactly what their role type and first aid officer tick say.

Require a built-in qualification more widely

  1. Step 1: Open the staff list and select Qualification settings.
  2. Step 2: Under Built-in qualifications: who else needs them, choose who needs each one: All staff, one role type, First aid officers, staff who run an activity, or Only as above, or staff I choose.
  3. Step 3: Select Save.

Add your own qualification

  1. Step 1: Under Add a qualification, enter its Name.
  2. Step 2: Answer Does it expire? (Yes, or No, it's done once). If it expires, set the Renewal period in months: it's used to work out the expiry when a certificate doesn't print one.
  3. Step 3: Choose Who needs it, tick A copy of the certificate is needed if it is, and add an optional Note for staff (for example which course counts and where to do it).
  4. Step 4: Select Add qualification.

Under Your own qualifications, edit one and select Save changes, or Archive it. Archived qualifications stop being required; Use it again brings one back.

Choosing staff by name

For Only staff I choose, tick the qualification under Also needs on each person's page.
