NAVIGATION: EVENT BUILDER > REGISTRATION > CREDIT CATEGORY LIBRARY
Credit Category Library
The Credit Category Library is where you create and manage all of the Credit Categories that will be available for your event.
Credit Categories are the specific credits that will be awarded for your event or sessions within your event. Credit Categories are most typically aligned with the sanctioning body of the credits.
You can define one or more Credit Categories and apply one or more Credit Categories to the event's registration items. Once applied to a registration item, you will be able to assign a value for that Credit Category - Registration Item combination.
Credit Categories can contain an optional code and be restricted to specific Registration Profiles and/or Jurisdictions.
Creating a Credit Category
In the Event Builder, click the Registration tab atop the screen and select Credit Category Library on the left.
To add a credit category, click the green Create Category button.
Category Name A category name is required. This will be the label for the type of credit that is attached to registration items and then a value will be assigned to that Credit Category - Registration Item combination.
Category Code This option field will be appended to the Credit Category Name for all display and reporting. You may use the code for sanctioning body requirements or to distinguish between two similar categories that are used for different registration profiles. The system treats specific Category Name and Category Code combinations as unique Credit Categories.
Restrict to Profiles You can make the Credit Category available to all Registration Profiles or specific profiles.
Applies to these Jurisdictions Some Credit Categories are only available in specific States or Provinces. The system defaults to all selected. If you need to adjust, simply click the country and click "check all" twice to clear. Then proceed to select the states/provinces applicable to the credit category.
Credit Category Listing
Your Credit Categories will show in a list with the ability to filter on Active and Archived categories. When you copy an event, all credit categories will be copied with it and you can archive those not needed for the event by clicking the red archive button to the right.
Prior to running Award Grants (issuing credits), you may edit the Credit Category definition by clicking the blue pencil icon.
Once an Award Grant has been run for a Credit Category, that Credit Category cannot be changed or archived.
