Just like a Cedar tree, CEDARWOOD attempts to find the
right balance between strength and
flexibility.
Fluid
Customizations
While
many systems require that you specify (and stick with) the
values that will be available in selectable fields (such as
meeting spaces), our programmers have taken the extra
effort to “soft-code” these lists. This means that you can
customize and add to these lists whenever the need arises,
without paying for a programmer to do it for you.
Multiple
Forms of Continuing Education
Credit
Do
you offer more than one type of CEU? Or another form of
credit altogether? CEDARWOOD allows you to define several
types of credit - each of which can have a different
contact hour conversion factor. You can even award
different forms of credit to attendees of the same
workshop. Transcripts and CEU certificates indicate the
form of credit chosen and calculate the appropriate credit
amount.
Credit
for Partial Attendance
By
indicating the percentage of contact hours attended by a
participant, you can award partial credit to that
participant (if that form of credit allows for the issuance
of partial credit.) Transcripts and CEU certificates
automatically calculate and indicate the correct credit.
Flexible
Scheduling
Many
systems require you to specify a start date and an end date
for the terms in which your offerings will be held,
restricting those offerings to within that range. They also
assume that all of your registrations occur before the
first date of that term and that credit is awarded at the
end of the term. CEDARWOOD was built at its core to avoid
these limitations.
Flexible
Facilities Use
Do
you have rooms that make use of dividers? CEDARWOOD can
intelligently handle such rooms, warning you if you attempt
to schedule a whole room when a portion of that room has
already been scheduled (or vice versa).
User
Management
Make
sure that each user of your system has the correct rights
with over 40 privilege settings.
Custom
Letters
While
users may export data to be used in Microsoft Office or
another program for a mail merge, CEDARWOOD also offers an
option for users to create custom letters that can be
merged and printed without the need for an
export.
