This settings page lets administrators control the activity sources used to track points on member profiles based on the activities they complete. Activity sources define where those activities can originate from, keeping things consistent whether activities are created by admins or updated by contacts through the portal.
This feature is the same across the product whether your account calls it Accreditation, Goals or CPD — the label is configured per account. In the default configuration it appears under Settings → Features → Accreditation.
What you can do
- View all configured activity sources.
- Add new activity sources.
- Edit or delete existing activity sources.
- Control which activity sources are available for People and Organisations.
Manage activity sources
- Go to Settings → Features → Accreditation (or Goals / CPD, depending on your account's label).
- Under Activity sources, choose the Person or Organisation tab.

Context and relationships
- Activity sources are used when admins record activity and when configuring accreditation/goal/CPD events.
- Activity sources are also available to contacts when updating their record through the portal.
- Consistent activity sources keep reporting and categorisation accurate.
- This screen manages the activity source labels only — it does not configure frameworks, categories or rules. For frameworks, see Accreditation frameworks & configuration (Document ID: 177).
