What it is for

Groups are picked on each line of Certification.

Field	What it means	What to put
Certification Group	The code that identifies the certification group. You type it on New, before Create.	Required. A short code; it cannot be changed once the record exists.
Name	The name of the certification group, shown next to the code wherever it is picked.	Required.
Certification Category	The category of certificate.	Required. Pick from the fixed list.
Unique	Meant to keep certificate numbers unique.	Nothing checks it today.
Primary For Country	The main certificate of its country.	Nothing reads it today.

Which fields are required, greyed, hidden or pre-filled for a company is set on Organizational Structure Setting, in its Default Parameters grid, and one user can differ through User Parameter Value.

Save refuses because the code already exists. Codes are unique. Open the existing record from the list instead, or pick another code.
