Introduction

Programs are set up and administered by the designated staff user(s) in a given business area, when applicable. A Program is the desired certification or accreditation that a user is attempting to attain. 

In order for a Program to be saved as Active, there must be one Non-Maintenance related Requirement created. Until a Requirement record exists, the Is Active checkbox will not save as checked.

Example: MemberNation has a MemberNation Administrator track (Program Type), and within the MemberNation Administrator track there are 2 types of certifications a User can obtain; the MemberNation Certified Administrator (Program 1) and the MemberNation Certified Advanced Administrator (Program 2).
