Configure Certificates in LearnWorlds

Select the certificate created in Accredible for your LearnWorlds course.
1. Navigate to the course you want to edit.

Use Custom Fields in Accredible
If desired, you can add custom fields to your certificates to display specific information, such as a user’s response to a particular question. To do this, start by adding the question or field to your school. Then, navigate to Accredible, select a template, and customize it to suit your needs. Be sure to create the corresponding attributes in Accredible by including the appropriate PDF keys. This ensures that the user’s response in your school will automatically appear on the certificate.
Here’s an example:
1. Add a dropdown field to the certificate activity in your school. Assign it a PDF key, such as cert_dropdown.
2. Go to Accredible, and while editing a template, add a new attribute or modify an existing one. Name the attribute cert_dropdown.
3. Once set up, the user’s selected response in your school will seamlessly display on the certificate.
This process can also be applied to custom sign-up fields.
Manage Certificates
Like default certificates, you can navigate to the Certificates page to review them. On this page, you have the option to edit or delete certificates as needed. You'll also find detailed information, including the user's name, the course name, the issue date, the actual certificate file, and the score (if applicable). For additional information, you can explore further resources here.
If you delete a certificate from your school, it will also be deleted from Accredible. However, if you delete a certificate directly from Accredible, this change will not be reflected in your school.User Experience
