Managing Certificates

A certificate is a document that proves a learner completed a piece of content. A learner can download or print the certificate to prove completion.

A learner can view their certificates in the right-most column in the My Progress table. Administrators can view them from the Content Status Report, Learner Status Report, or the Attempt Status Report.

Create a Certificate

When creating a certificate, Veracity Launch lets you upload a background image and overlay text blocks with the learner’s name, content title, and many activity metrics such as date, score, and duration.

To create a new certificate:

In the left menu, click ADMIN > Manage Certificates.
On the Manage Certificates page, at the top of the table, click the Create Certificate button.
In the New Certificate form, enter the metadata (title and description) for the certificate, and click the Create New Certificate button.
On the Manage Certificates page, in the row for the new certificate, in the Actions column, click the Actions button (three vertical dots).
From the Actions menu for the new certificate, select Upload Background.
From the Upload Certificate Background form, click the Choose File button, select an image file on your computer, and click the Upload button.
On the Manage Certificates page, in the row for the new certificate, in the Actions column, click the Actions button (three vertical dots) again.
From the Actions menu for the new certificate, select Edit Design.
In the Certificate Editor, you can create, drag, re-size, or edit the text in any block. You can change the dynamic value shown in a block by selecting from the Template Variable dropdown menu.
When finished, click the Save and Close button.

Now, you can link your new certificate to a piece of content.

Link a Certificate

To link a certificate to a piece of content:

In the left menu, click ADMIN > Manage Content.
In the Manage Content page, in the card for a piece of content, in the lower-left corner, click the Actions button (three vertical dots).
From the Actions menu for the selected piece of content, select the Link Certificate option.
In the Link Certificate form, from the Certificate dropdown, select a certificate.
Click the Link button.

Now, when a learner completes that piece of content, it will have a Show Certificate button in the My Progress report and in the status reports.

Some caveats about certificates:

You cannot link a certificate to some content types.
A learner can earn a certificate for a piece of content only after you link it.
You can link only one certificate to a piece of content.
If you delete a certificate, then content associated with that certificate shows a link to a default system-generated certificate instead.
