Submissions Page
Selecting Submissions in the People Module on the Main Menu opens the Submissions Page. The Submissions Page in the People Module allows a supervisor to review an employee or user’s submitted certification, to upload attachments associated with certifications, and submit certifications in bulk.
The Submissions Page is comprised of three tabs, Pending Approvals, Attachment Inbox and Batch Submit Certifications. An explanation of each tab is included below.
The Pending Approvals Tab
The Pending Approvals Tab displays all user certifications and competency certificates that have been submitted and are awaiting approval. The Date/Time Submitted, Certification, Completion and Expiration Date, and Attachments are included in the Submitted Certifications Table. The Action column has an Approve and Decline button.
Selecting the three-dot icon to the right of the user’s name in the Certifications Submitted for Approval Table opens the Pending Approvals Context Menu. The options on that context menu are explained in the table below.

Delete | Selecting Delete from the Pending Approvals Context Menu opens the Certification Deletion Confirmation Modal, requiring confirmation before deleting the submitted certification. WIKI LINK HOW TO DELETE A CERTIFICATION THAT IS PENDING APPROVAL When a submitted certification is deleted, the submission is removed from the system and cannot be undone. No notifications will be sent to the associated user. |
There is a separate table for Competency Certificates that have been submitted for approval. There is no context menu for submitted competency certificates. The date/time the competency certificate was submitted, the required certification role the competency is associated with, completion and expiration dates, as well as attachments are displayed on the table. The Action column has buttons to Approve or Decline the Competency.
If there are no submitted certifications/competency certificates waiting for approval, you will see “All certifications have been approved or declined” in place of the Certifications/Competency Certificates Submitted for Approval Table.
The Attachment Inbox Tab
The Attachment Inbox Tab allows a supervisor to upload documents in bulk that are to be utilized for user certifications.
The Attachment Inbox includes a Preview Window that allows a user to view supported files on the left side of the page. The “Expand Preview” button opens the View Document Modal. Files uploaded to the Attachment Inbox tool can be seen below the Preview Window in the File Viewer table.
A filter box to the right of the Preview Window allows a user to search by account or certifications. By default, the Accounts/Certifications table is filtered to “Only show required certifications / assigned users”. If instead you’d like to see all available accounts / certifications, regardless of whether a user is assigned the Certification, deselect this checkbox.
Below the filter is a table that contains a listing of all Accounts and Certifications. Clicking on either the Accounts or Certifications Tabs can be used to show available options. Both views allow listings to be expanded to show completion dates, expiration dates, and unique file associated with each user / certification.
Below the Preview Window is a Resize Bar that can be dragged up / down to adjust the vertical size of the Preview Window. In between the two sides of the Attachment Inbox page is a Resize Bar that can be dragged left / right to give more horizontal space to either the Preview Window and File Viewer table, or the Filters and Accounts/Certifications table.
WIKI LINK HOW TO UPLOAD FILES AND ADD THEM TO CERTIFICATIONS IN THE ATTACHMENT INBOX
Any file type can be imported, but previews are only supported for specific filetypes. If a preview cannot be shown for a filetype, a button to download the file will be shown in the Preview Window.
The Batch Submit Certifications Tab
The Batch Submit Certifications tab allows a supervisor to select a certification from a dropdown menu and bulk submit it to certify a group of users simultaneously.
This function is useful when a large number of employees completed a training class and have the same certification validation. WIKI LINK HOW TO BATCH SUBMIT CERTIFICATIONS IN BULK
