  2. Select the date that should be assigned to the achievement. This date appears on printed certificates and reports.

  3. Choose achievements by category and activity.

  4. Move the achievements to the right side.

  5. Click Allocate to run the automatic allocation process.

Important information about achievement setup

PDF version generation

When you run automatic allocation, the system generates PDF versions of your current achievement setup. If you make changes to an achievement definition after allocation, you must run the allocation process again to generate updated PDF versions.

Mark-based allocation

Learner marks determine which achievements they receive. Ensure your academic criteria thresholds are correctly configured before running allocation.

Category and activity selection

You can allocate all achievements or select specific categories and activities. Be clear about which achievements should be included in each run.

Frequently asked questions

Can I allocate achievements to individual learners manually?

Yes, you can manually allocate achievements through the individual learner record. Use automatic allocation for bulk processing based on criteria.

What happens if a learner's marks change after allocation?

You can run allocation again, and learners whose marks now meet different criteria will receive additional or updated achievements.

How do I know which learners received achievements?

Navigate to Review Achievement Allocations to view which learners have been assigned achievements and filter by category, activity, or grade.

Can I undo an automatic allocation?

No, automatic allocation is permanent. To remove incorrectly allocated achievements, use the Review Allocations section to remove individual learners.

What if no learners meet the criteria?

If no learners have marks that meet the configured thresholds, no achievements will be allocated. Review your criteria settings and learner marks.
