• Potential features/requests made during this:

  - As above and when adding, specify number of mandatory units required from that list
  - Filters for Qualifications Manager to show by Exam Group, Type, In Progress, Achieved
  - A look at locking down altering dates for Qualifications 

During the course of the day, there were some additional items discussed briefly that are worth taking note of:

• Users unaware that on the Forums on this portal, they can click the 'Follow' option at the top of any category (such as Announcements) to receive email notifications about posts made there. We recommend this to anyone wanting to keep an eye on any of the areas here.
• Explained how new Development Requests should display under the Feature Requests area of the Forum to allow discussion and clarity of what is being requested and implemented.
• Suggested that after monthly updates are released, a scheduled drop-in session on the first available friday will be posted under the Events area of the Forum to allow users to ask questions about any new changes.

In summary, we agreed on the next forum being around 3 months time where the above details can be rediscussed following any changes made by ourselves, as well as any new items to discuss.  If you have any questions or further comments on the above please let us know or comment below.

We are now looking for the next customer that can let us know as soon as possible, if they would be happy to host the next forum. If you are interested please get in touch with Databridge directly.
