Specialties are certifications, skills, attributes, or general qualifications that are tracked in the application. Specialties are typically used to include or exclude a person from a working opportunity, or as people filters. This report tracks two types of application specialties:
In application version 6.7 skill and certification type specialties were introduced and detached from the person Profile tab, and available in the person Skills and Certifications tab. These specialties are not linked to a profile date. Certifications can be applied to a person multiple times with various start and end dates.
When querying a specialty of type Certification, same as certifications that overlap, or have adjacent effective and expiration dates - will be joined. The application will determine whether the certification has expired in the given date range.
Lunch is subtracted if target Shift indicates that it is appropriate.
The What column displays the specialty or type of document that is expiring.
The Who column displays the staff member’s name who has the specialty or document that is expiring along with their Employee ID.
The When column displays the expiration date.
TIP: To inform personnel that their specialty will expire in the near future provide a future date range in the From and Through fields.
