Administrators have the ability to reduce or increase any requirement per reporting period for a jurisdiction.
How to Adjust Credit Requirements
- Select Edit next to the reporting period in question from the individual’s jurisdiction profile page.
- Within the modal, select the option to Adjust Requirements.
- Upon choosing to Adjust Requirements, a new column for Requirement Adjustment will appear for you to enter the credit adjustment.
- When a requirement is adjusted, you will see a note on the jurisdiction preview page, selecting Edit again will direct you into the modal to review any credit adjustments previously awarded.
Note: The jurisdiction modal will will not allow an administrator to adjust credits in such a way that would create a negative requirement. For example, an administrator cannot decrease a requirement by 25 credits if the starting requirement is 20 credits.
Note: If an annual requirement needs to be adjusted within a rolling period, then you must adjust the annual requirement in the most current reporting period first. This will adjust the annual requirement in any overlapping periods.
Note: It is not required to enter in an extension to adjust the credit requirement.
