How to create and view a certificate
Tags: Challenges, Rewards, Certificates, Tickets
Attaching certificates to badges is a great way to inspire readers to take on and complete challenges. This article shows you how to create a certificate and attach it to a badge within a challenge from the admin side, as well as view a certificate from the reader view.
Note: Only library administrators and media specialists plus can create certificates.
-
Log in to the admin view of your site.
-
Go to Challenges and select a challenge draft.
-
Note: We recommend against adding certificates to published and/or current challenges since they will not be rewarded retroactively.
-
-
Select the “Badges” tab.
-
Click “Edit” next to the badge you’d like to add a certificate for.
-
Only 1 certificate can be added to a badge.
-
You cannot add certificates for registration, completion, review, repeatable activity, and points badges (however, there is a workaround).
-
-
Under “Reward Earned With This Badge”, do one of the following:
-
Use the dropdown menu to select an existing certificate.
-
Click “Create a Certificate”, fill in the form fields, and click “Save and Add.”
-
-
Click “Save.”
Note: You can also edit certificates. However, it is a best practice to create a new certificate for a new challenge since editing an existing certificate will affect other challenges the certificate is a part of.
