Overview

Manual data entry allows an administrator to complete an activity on behalf of a learner (registration included) and can be used for all activity types (enduring, live events, RSS, etc...). All associated emails will also be sent to the learner (CME and Registration Confirmation emails, Event Reminder emails, etc...), unless performing data entry for a "walk-in."

For a learner that already has a record of participation in the activity, administrators can begin data entry directly from the Record Search Results page by clicking the icon. When beginning data entry this way, you will not need to go through the profile search process. The data entry icon is unavailable once the learner has received their certificate/award.
