We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

It is better to use one system with multiple steps (the above does not do what is needed).

Search for multiple steps analysis.

In 2023 R2 and 2024 R1 we also have the restart extension.

All the best
