How to View and Add Certificate Templates in VIDIZMO

Upon reaching the media's completion criteria, users can be awarded certificates based on templates designed by the awarding body. A certificate of completion is issued by an organization stating that users have successfully completed watching the media assigned to them.

VIDIZMO provides a default template to get you started, but you can also create your own certificate templates to apply to your media. You can add branding, custom elements, personalized fonts, and more to your certificate through VIDIZMO's editor.

Prerequisites​

  • Ensure you belong to a group that has the Certificate Management feature enabled. To learn more about groups and enabling features, see Enable Features in the VIDIZMO Portal.
  • To add completion certificates to media, you must belong to a security group with enabled features to either:
    • Upload and Manage Your Content - Allows you to add certificate templates to your uploaded content.
    • Upload and Manage all Portal Content - Allows you to add certificate templates to all portal content.

Add a Certificate Template​

  1. Select the navigation menu.
  2. Expand Admin.
  3. Select Portal Settings.
  4. Expand Library.
  5. Select Certificate Templates to see all available certificate templates, including the default template provided by VIDIZMO.
  6. Select Clone to create a copy of the default template if needed.
  7. Select Edit to adjust the default template per your preferences.
  8. Select Add Template to create a new certificate template.

Create a Certificate Template​

You can create a certificate template that suits your preferences in the WYSIWYG editor. The editor offers options to modify the template according to your needs.

You can utilize variables in the certificate template to dynamically display specific information or information related to various attributes obtained from your VIDIZMO Portal.

Variables act as placeholders in your certificate template and are written in the format {{Variable.Name}}. When the certificate is generated, these variables automatically pull the relevant data in their place.

For available variables and detailed information, see Understanding Certificate Templates in VIDIZMO.

  6. Select Save once you're done creating the template.
