About Certifications

Proliance can record comprehensive information about the certifications held by a company. Examples of certifications include: insurance, minority, and professional. In order to assist users in charge of managing workspaces to assign companies that have the correct certifications, you should ensure that all certifications held by a company are defined in Proliance.

Note: The Certifications document is only available for companies in the Organization and Workspaces work area.

It is important to note that the scope of a certification document and where it will appear depends on where it is defined in Proliance:

Certifications defined in the Companies, Org Companies, Business Units register can be used in any workspace. However, any certifications you create in the Organization work area will not appear in any workspace—even on workspaces in which the company holding the certification is already involved—unless you manually add the certification document.

Adding ensures that a link is maintained between certifications in the Organization work area and the workspace. If you need to update information for that certification later on, you need only enter it once in the Organization work area, and then synchronize it to all workspaces in which the certification has been added.

Certifications in the Workspaces work area may have been added to the workspace from companies in the Organization work area, or they may have been specifically defined for the workspace. Certifications created in a workspace have no relationship to the Organization work area or any other workspace.

Certifications that have been exported to a workspace may be periodically updated when changes made to the corresponding document in the Organization work area are synchronized to the workspaces. Any changes you have made to that certification in a workspace will be overwritten.
