If you need to restore a Contact you can do so in the UI. First visit the URL that points to the Contact. It will look something like this: /Contact/view/id/79 in this case the ID of 79 is a deleted Contact. After visiting the URL for your deleted Contact you can then use the "Restore Contact" button (if you are a Super User).

After clicking Restore Contact your Contact's details will be restored.

Merge Contacts

There may be instances where you’ve found you’ve created duplicate Contacts and you may need to combine them together so information and dependencies, such as Event registrations, etc. are all in one place. If one of the Contacts doesn’t have any dependencies, you can simply delete it. However, if both have dependencies and history attached, you can merge them with our Potential Contact Duplicates tool (Super User access only).

Credentials

In this section you are able to:

• Setup an account for a student to gain access to the student portal
• Edit the account username
• Send a password reset email
• Revoke access to the portal

If your instance is configured to do so, administrators may also set a password reset code on behalf of the LMS user. The LMS user may then use that code to reset their password. This is useful in scenarios when the LMS user does not have access to their email account, or their email provider is rejecting the password reset email. Contact Support if you would like this feature enabled.

Achievements

A contact can be issued an achievement to track their successful completion or participation in an Event, professional certification, or other learning milestone.

Achievements have:

• Validity - the state of the achievement:
  • Active: the achievement is valid and has not reached its expiration date
  • Expired: the achievement was valid, but has lapsed
  • Revoked: the achievement should be considered invalid
• Name: The type of achievement that was issued to the Learner.
• Number: A unique code which can be used to identify the achievement.
• Issued At: The date when the achievement was given to the learner.
• Expires At: The date when the achievement will no longer be accepted as current.
• Issued By: Documents the Event or Learning Path where the achievement was issued, if it was automatically generated by Administrate.
• Brand: Designate where the Learner has visibility to the Achievement
• Documentation: A file (most commonly a PDF or image) which supports the achievement. When issued by Administrate automatically, this can be a copy of the Certificate generated for the Learner.

Reissuing Certificates:

Any Certificates that a Student has been awarded can be reissued from the Achievements tab of the Contact screen. 

• • To reissue Certificates, find the related Achievement in the Achievements table of the Contact screen, click the ellipsis which are displayed on the right of the table, and then click the "Refresh Documents" option.
