When Automatically Awarding Doesn’t Work CEU Import! While YM recommends exploring and taking advantage of all opportunities to automatically award credits to members, there is another option. Preparing a spreadsheet according to the YM template allows admins to directly import professional development data in to the system. An import allows for the addition of new data, but also allows for the update of existing data. Webinar Title
