Set Up Requirement Sets
Some requirements can be met in more than one way. A trainer might hold the current TAE qualification or an older version that’s still accepted for a while. A requirement set lets you list each acceptable pathway — staff only need to meet one of them.
When to Use This
- Different versions are accepted — for example,
TAE40122orTAE40116 - A combination is needed — for example, a First Aid certificate and a CPR certificate, each with its own refresh period
- An older credential is being phased out — keep accepting it until a set date, then stop
If only one document will do, use a normal document requirement instead — see Set Up Document Requirements.
Creating a Requirement Set
Go to Settings → Requirement sets and select Add requirement set
Give it a name, like “Trainer qualification”
In the first pathway, add the documents or training products that meet it
If a pathway needs more than one credential, add each one — staff need all of them.
Select + Add alternative pathway (OR) for each other acceptable option, then select Create requirement set
Apply the set to a position in Settings → Positions, or to one staff member through Manage Requirements
Refresh Periods and End Dates
Two optional settings change what counts:
- Must be refreshed every … months — set on a credential in a pathway. The document must have been issued within that many months, even if it hasn’t expired. Useful for things like CPR that you want refreshed more often.
- Accepted until — set on a pathway. After that date, the pathway stops counting. From six months out, staff relying on it show as Upcoming credential sunset, so you have time to plan.
Training products in a requirement set match the exact code you add — or, for a unit, a qualification that contains it. Superseded versions aren’t matched automatically, so if you accept an older version, add it as its own pathway.
What Happens Next
- Staff who don’t meet the set yet see it in their requirements, with the pathways that would meet it
- Anyone who doesn’t meet any pathway shows as a compliance issue on your dashboard and the Staff Document Compliance report
Common Issues
Trainer holds the qualification but still shows an issue
Check the document is verified. For a qualification, also check it’s the exact code in the pathway, and that it was issued within any refresh period you set.
Staff suddenly showing as not meeting the set
A pathway may have reached its Accepted until date. Staff need to meet one of the remaining pathways.
