# Mark optional requirements as completed

## Learn how to mark optional requirements as completed.

Marking a requirement as completed is a permanent action and can't be reversed. Make sure you understand why you're marking a requirement as completed, and the consequences of this, before you go ahead.

**Why mark an optional requirement as completed?**

Consider marking an [optional requirement](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/en/knowledge/understand-optional-requirements?hsLang=en) as completed if the user it's assigned to cannot [mark it as completed themselves](https://help.ausmed.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/4406780396687-Mark-as-Complete-How-to-record-completion-of-a-training-item) via [My Organisation](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/en/knowledge/what-is-my-organisation?hsLang=en), or when you know they have completed the associated training. 

**What happens once the requirement is completed?** 

- Marking an optional requirement as completed updates the status of the requirement to "completed", indicating the requirement has been met.
- A [learning record](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/en/knowledge/understand-learning-records?hsLang=en) is also attached to the requirement evidencing the associated training is complete. Learn more about the relationship between learning records and requirements [here](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/en/knowledge/understand-the-relationship-between-learning-and-oml?hsLang=en).
- The requirement is moved to the "completed" section of the user's assigned learning list in [My Organisation](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/en/knowledge/what-is-my-organisation?hsLang=en), so the user has a record of it.

**Who is this article for?**

From the left-hand-side menu bar, go to **Reporting**, then click **Requirement Records,** then click on the **All Optional Requirements** report.**![](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-07%20at%2011-35-45%20am-png.png?width=688&height=354&name=Screen%20Shot%202022-12-07%20at%2011-35-45%20am-png.png)**
3. [Run an All Optional Requirements report](https://knowledge.organisations.ausmed.com.au/en/knowledge/report-on-optional-training-using-the-all-optional-requirements-report?hsLang=en) to retrieve the requirements you would like to mark as completed.

   **Note:**
   
     - The completion date of the selected requirements will default to today's date, but can be modified by changing the date in the completion date field.
     - If you would like to double check the requirements you're about to mark as completed, click **View x compliance requirements**, where x is the number of requirements selected
7. Click **Mark as Completed** to confirm the selected requirements should be marked as completed.
