Notifications by Certification Type
Use this page to set up notifications to be sent out to notify the appropriate parties that an employee's certification will be expiring. Users can determine which certifications have pre-arranged notifications, what the notification will say, when it will be sent out, and whether or not reminders should be sent out. The Certification Type is tied to the Employee's record.
