Relating Certifications to Other Certifications

In Oracle CRM On Demand you can relate a certification to other certifications. One certification can be a prerequisite to one certification, a follow-up to another certification , and a replacement for another, possibly retired, certification.

This information is captured only for informational purposes and is mainly intended to help you present your partners with a complete view of all the certifications available and their inter-dependencies. Oracle CRM On Demand does not enforce the relationship requirements specified in this section when granting a certification, for example, holding certification A might be defined as a prerequisite for being granted certification B; however, this prerequisite is not enforced by Oracle CRM On Demand and it allows certification B to be granted to a contact even if she does not hold certification A.

NOTE: To ensure that a certification cannot be related to itself, the Related Certification field cannot be the same as the certification on the parent record.
