PMP Dashboard: "8 Maximum" Displays in Red? 60 Applied? 59 Approved?

Wonder if someone can help clarify the data I'm looking at on my login PMI Dashboard...? On the dashboard I see several things that I'm not exactly understanding...

On the left side of the screen under the Cycle Complete circle.it shows:

Giving Back
---------
"8 Work as a Practitioner .... 8 maximum"

The "8 maximum" notably is displayed *in RED* whereas all other hour data and maximums and minimums are displayed in black on the dashboard. Is this some sort of an alert?

On the right right side of the dashboard it displays:

PDUs
---------
"60 required   60 Applied   0 Remaining"

Claims
---------
"59 Approved   0 rejected   0 more info"

How do I have 60 applied but only 59 approved?

Thanks,

See below comments:

1) Work As Practitioner: It shows in black on my end. It will show in red only if you tried to claim more than 8 PDUs for that category in any given cycle so I suggest you check the number of hours you claimed under Working as Practitioner.

2) 59 Approved Claims but 60 Applied PDUS: The 59 is for the number of claims while 60 is for the applied PDUs. A claim can have any number of PDUs so the number of claims do not need to match the number of PDUs applied as it all depends on how many PDUs you did include per claim.

Hope this helps!

OK - thanks!

OK I see it now as to why 8 maximum is in red. I have excess hours under "Other Giving Back" (one row below the "8 maximum).. That's where the extra hours are that weren't applied. And that likely is why the 8 maximum is in red. OK thanks for that explanation.

On the second question - so the first area is PDUs as in 'hours' for example. And the second area is Claims as in the # of times I've made a claim (not # of claimed PDUs). So for example I could have 58 claims at 1 PDU each and 1 claim at 2 PDUs.and that would total up to 60 PDUs. Thanks - was overlooking units and your explanation makes perfect sense. I must have been interpreting it as "Claimed PDUs" or something.

thanks! And Thanks for fast response!
