How to set up an Education Credit tied to an Event in netFORUM Pro.

Resolution
  1. Creating Education Credits for Events and Event Sessions
    • The first part of the process is creating the Education Credit. Information on how to create an Education Credit can be found in the netFORUM Pro help guide here.
    • It is also important to note that the Education Credits for Events should be added to the event before users are able to begin registering. 
  2. Credit Start Date and End Dates
    • ​​​When designing an Education Credit to be attached to an Event you will want to pay special attention to the Credit Start Date and End Date. The Start Date is the date the Credit begins and the End Date is the date on which the credit expires. Note that an Education Credit does not require an End Date if it does not expire. 
    • Something else to consider when creating an Education Credit to be attached to an event that it is  the event's registration period should be on the same date or after Credit Start Date and before the End Date should you have one. If someone registers for an event on a date that does not fall after the Start and  before End Dates of the Education Credit they will not receive credit. 
    • Examples
      • ​​You have an Education Credit with a Start and End Date of February 1st 2017 and February 1st 2018 tied to an event. If a User registers for this event on January 15th 2017, this date is before the Education Credit’s Start Date and as such they will not receive the event's Education Credit. 
      • Using the same Education Credit with Start and End Dates of February 1st 2017 and February 1st 2018 tied to an event a User registers on February 15th 2017. Because their registration date falls after the Start Date and before the End Date of the Education credit, they will receive the Education Credit. 
  3. Processing EDU Credits for Events
    • ​​Once the process completes, those individuals who attended the event and received the edu credits will have their Earned Date set. These individuals also must not have had their registrations canceled or voided. For more info please see our help article on this subject here.
