Levels

Levels are optional ranks within a program, such as belts or grades. They determine a member’s current rank and next available promotion.

Set minimum class and day requirements on each level to control when members become eligible to advance. Classes only count when their attendance setting allows them to count toward level requirements.

You can use a normal minimum-days date or set a level’s next promotion to the next scheduled grading. Grading dates update automatically when gradings change; member-specific promotion overrides still take precedence. See Create a Level and Manage Gradings.

Before changing requirements or progression order, decide whether existing members should keep their current rules until promotion. Enable Keep level requirements until next promotion on the program before editing to protect their requirements and next-level assignments. Otherwise, edits apply immediately.

After promoting a member, their new level becomes current and qualifying attendance is counted from the new promotion date. Earlier attendance stays in their history; it is not deleted. Use the Promotions Report to review members due to advance.
