Create a Level
Levels define the order members advance through a program. For example, a karate program might have White Belt, Yellow Belt, and Blue Belt. A member can only advance to the next level in this order, so check the progression after adding a level.
Add a level
Section titled “Add a level”- Open Programs, select the program, then open Levels.
- Select New Level.
- Enter a Name, such as Yellow Belt.
- Optionally set Min Classes, Min Days, or both.
- If your school promotes members at scheduled events, enable Next promotion is at next grading. You must also schedule a grading for this program.
- Select Create.
Choose promotion requirements
Section titled “Choose promotion requirements”Min Classes sets how many confirmed, qualifying attendances a member needs since their last promotion. Attendance still counts after a program change when it belongs to the same membership. A class does not count if Counts towards attendance is turned off. Min Days sets how many calendar days must pass since the member was last promoted, or since their membership began if they have not been promoted yet. When you set both, the member must meet both requirements for normal eligibility.
For example, if Yellow Belt requires 20 classes and 60 days, a member who has attended 20 classes still needs to reach 60 days. A member who has been at the level for 60 days still needs the required classes.
Leave a field empty if you do not want that requirement. If both are empty, there is no class or day threshold. When Next promotion is at next grading is enabled without a minimum-days requirement, the next upcoming grading for the program sets the date. If you set Min Days, the grading must be on or after the date the member meets that requirement.
Enter non-negative whole numbers for the class and day requirements. Your school’s chosen name for levels, such as Belt, may replace Level in headings and buttons. Staff need permission to manage programs to add or edit levels.
Check the level order
Section titled “Check the level order”The order in Levels determines which level comes next. Use the row’s Move up and Move down controls to change its position. Use Move in or Move out to nest a level under another level or return it to the main list.
For example, if Yellow Belt should follow White Belt, make sure Yellow Belt appears after White Belt at the same level in the progression. Members need a next level to be promoted. If the program keeps level requirements, an existing member can keep their previous destination, including having no next level, even after you change the order.
A member-specific next promotion date overrides the date calculated from the level. Learn how to promote a member, review the Promotions report, or manage gradings.
