The Group by Achievements button will separate out entries for the same achievement under the relevant section. For example if you have several entries under Training for First Aid then clicking Group by Achievements will show a separate table under Training containing all entries for First Aid, and similarly for other achievements for all sections.
When achievements are grouped in this way the button changes to be Ungroup Achievements - clicking this will return to the default arrangement.
Tip You can order the entries in the tables by clicking a column heading to order based on that column's data - repeat click to select either ascending or descending.
Adding Qualifications, Training and Conferences
Tip There is a newer screen available in Staff -> Training in the left hand navigation menu for adding these types of records, making it easier to add/update them in bulk and see all assigned on one screen. The details themselves will be the same as recorded here.
The fields available when adding Qualifications, Training and Conferences are common for all three.
To add entries for these click the relevant Add button. You will have the following fields to complete. Fill in as required for your specific needs.
For each of these there will be some initial system configuration required - see later sections for more details on configuring Databridge with these details.
