Certificates

Overview

Certificates are digital certificates which can be generated and made visible for users to access and download once certain activities, assessments or courses have been successfully completed. Certificates are created as PDF files with form fields and can either be added to a dashboard page as a certificate widget, or assigned directly to a user though the Security tab.

How to create Certificates

Step 1 - Creating the Certificate

Start in the Assessments tab in the Navigation panel. Click on Achievements in the top right hand corner.

  1. Click the Add Achievement button
  2. In the Main tab, add a title for the certificate in the Title field.
  3. Add a description for the certificate in the Description field.
  4. Check the box Create PDF underneath the Description field. This will make the certificate PDF viewable/downloadable to the learner.
  5. Add an image to upload in the Image section. This image is the button the learner will click on to access the Certificate from the page.
  6. Add the Certificate PDF in the Template section.
  7. Click Save.

Step 2 - Assigning Members

  1. Click on the Members tab (to the right of the Main tab).
  2. Search for the user to assign the Certificate for in the Search bar on the right hand side of the page, and click Link existing.
Options

The Rules for awarding tab (to the right of the Members tab) give the option to assign the certificate to a user when their account is created. Certificates can also be triggered with javascript actions after a certain task or assessment has been successfully completed by a learner. See Javascript actions for more information.
