Issuing E-Certificates

Prerequisites

From the Profile Options menu, select OCIS E-Certs to open the OPERA E-Certificate screen and issue E-Certificates to the profile. When issued, the E-Certificate number will be placed on the member's profile and will remain on the profile until consumed. Once issued, the E-Certificate may be consumed by the guest or by a fixed list of people associated with the guest. This guest list is defined by setting the Profile>Setting>Maximum Allowed E-Certificate Guest List application setting to the number of people allowed on a guest's list. For more information, see E-Certificate Guest List.

In addition to issuing the E-Certificate to the profile, you can use this screen to print a voucher for the E-Certificate, verify its number, define where it can be consumed, and view its details.
