Attach Certifications to a Project (Web)

You can require certifications at the project level to ensure that only qualified employees are able to clock time to that project.

Overview

This article explains how to:

  • Add certification requirements to a project.

  • Select certifications from your certification list.

  • Create new certifications if needed.

Before You Begin

  • Certifications must exist in the Certification Management list before they can be assigned to a project.

  • You must have permission to Manage Projects and Manage Certifications.

  • Certification requirements will be enforced when employees attempt to clock in to the project.

Attach Certifications to a Project

Use this method to require certifications for a specific project.

Steps:

  1. Go to Management Lists.

  2. Click Projects.

  3. Select the project you want to update.

  4. Click the Certifications tab.

  5. Click New Requirement.

  6. Select a Certification from the dropdown menu.

    • If the certification you need is not listed, click Manage.

    • This will open the Certification Management list, where you can create a new certification.

  7. After selecting the certification, click Submit.

The certification is now required for that project.

What Happens After You Add a Certification Requirement

  • Employees must have the required certification to clock time to the project.

  • If an employee does not have the certification, they will be prevented from clocking in.

  • Certification requirements will appear under the Certifications tab for the project.

Important Notes

  • Certifications are pulled from a centralized certification list.

  • Adding a requirement does not assign the certification to employees—it only enforces the requirement.

  • Employees must have an active certification to meet the requirement.

  • Multiple certifications can be required for a single project.
