ℹ️Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between "competence" and "certificate"?
In Ditio it's the same mechanism. A competence/certificate is an entry with a type (e.g. machine operator's license, driving licence, first aid), an issue date, an optional expiry date (valid until), and a note. "Certificate" is just a type of competence that has an expiry date.
Do I have to fill in an expiry date?
No, the expiry date is optional for the entry itself. However, without an expiry date, Ditio can't send you or the company an expiry notification for that competence. If it has an expiry date (e.g. a certificate that needs to be renewed), you should add it.
I can't add a competence again / the type isn't selectable.
Some competence types are set to allow only one entry per person. If you already have that type registered, adding a new one of the same type is blocked. If you need to renew it, edit the existing entry (with a new expiry date) instead of adding a new one. If the company needs to allow multiple entries of the same type, an administrator has to enable that on the type itself.
Why can't I find the competence type I want to register?
Competence types are managed by the company. If the type isn't in the list, it hasn't been created yet — ask an administrator to create it under Competence.
Will I be notified when my own competence is about to expire?
Yes. The employee gets a reminder inside the Ditio app when the competence is nearing expiry. An email notification is also sent to the recipients the company has set up (typically the HSE officer/administrator), not necessarily to you.
Who can see the competence I register?
The competence sits on your user profile and is visible within the company. It's used, among other things, for overviews and expiry notifications.
Can I edit or delete an entry afterwards?
Yes – open the competence entry and edit dates, images, or notes.
Do I need to be checked in to add a new competence or edit one?
No – you can add the competence even if you're not checked in.
