# AFAS UpdateConnector: Course Management

## Passing completion dates to course management

Once a user completes a module within the learning path, we can write the completion date to a field specified by you within the registration in _AFAS_. This allows you to automatically track whether and when a user has completed a module.

# Information for your _UpdateConnector_

For your _UpdateConnector_, we need the following information:
   1. One-time: The name of the _UpdateConnector_
   2. Per learning path: The field code of the field where we will write the completion date.

# Configuring the UpdateConnector

To configure the **UpdateConnector**, it is important to choose the field to which the completion date will be written. You can choose an existing field (where only the field name needs to be passed on to us) or add a new field, known as a _free field_ within _AFAS_.

For the latter option, you must take the following steps:

![Step 1](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/efb20d00b64eb000/cursusbeheer-1_1onjnd5.png)

Within the **General** menu in the **Administration** section, select the option **Management tool**. You will then see the screen below. Choose _Function group_ **Course management.**

![Step 2](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/efb20d00b64eb000/cursusbeheer-2_1sb14iw.png)

Next, in the left menu, choose the _data collection_ where you want to add a field. In the example below, we choose _Participant per event_. In the right menu, you'll see all the fields currently available for this data collection (there may be more than you saw during the earlier configuration of the _GetConnector_ because not all these fields are linked to a connector).

To add a new field, click on **New**.

![Step 3](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/efb20d00b64eb000/cursusbeheer-3_108gfkr.png)

The menu below will open. Here, you can select the field type, label (name), and column text.

## Field types for your free field.

For your new field, you can use the field types _Date_ and _Text_. For the latter, you also need to provide a _field length_. For Pluvo, a minimum length of 10 characters is required. **Note the value you see in the 'Field code' column afterwards. This needs to be communicated to us.**
