Configure a progression

Who this is for

This guide is for organization owners and managers who define belt or level sequences before staff review readiness or run testing events.

You need the members.change permission.

Before you begin

• Decide whether you are creating a new progression or reviewing one that already exists.
• Progressions live under Settings › Progressions.

Steps

1. Open Settings, then Progressions (or use Configure progressions from the Advancement page).
2. Read the list of existing progressions. Each row offers Review progression and, when allowed, Duplicate.
3. Click New progression to start a new sequence (or expand creation options if the button toggles them).
4. Choose a template or blank builder, name the progression, and define the ordered ranks.
5. Save. Return to the Progressions list and open Review progression to confirm the ranks and draft or active state.
6. Use Duplicate when you need a variation without rebuilding from scratch.

Expected outcome

A progression is available for Advancement readiness and for testing events. Staff can choose it on Advancement and when scheduling a testing day.

Recovery

If New progression is missing, your role cannot manage progressions.

If the list is empty for a non-manager, wait until an owner creates one; the empty state explains that progressions appear once staff create them.

If save fails, stay on the builder, fix the named fields, and try again before leaving.
