    When Incremental Certification is enabled, it takes the following parameters:

    • Incremental Date Range (required): This includes:

      • Since Last Base (default): When this option is selected, current access of the user is compared against the last certification of the same type, which was created without enabling incremental and all the incremental certifications since then, to the current date when the certification is created.

      • Since Date: When this option is selected, current access of the user is compared against all the certifications of the same type since the given date and when the certification is created.

    • Show Previous Value (optional): This includes:

      • Disabled (default): When this is deselected, then the values that have already appeared in the previous certifications based on the Incremental Date Range parameter are not included in the certification.

      • Enabled: When this is selected, all the current values that existed in previous certifications are displayed with the last decisions taken for those access.

  16. Click Next. The Summary page is displayed with the details of the user certification.

  17. Click Create. A message is displayed asking if you want to create a certification job based on the definition and run it now. You can edit the job name, and click Yes to run the certification job.

    Alternatively, click No to create a certification definition without creating and running the scheduled job. With this option, you must manually create a certification job later.

    The new application instance certification definition is displayed in the Certification Definition page.
