Create a certificate assignment

A certificate assignment tells Skillsive when a certificate can be issued and which elements should be used.

What an assignment links

In an assignment, you select:

• PDF template,
• instructor signature,
• registry type,
• training form,
• optional course,
• certificate title and description,
• duration, CPD points, and validity,
• validity calculation rule,
• enabled status.

Create the assignment

1. 1Open Organization → Certificates.
2. 2Go to the assignments section.
3. 3Add a new assignment.
4. 4Select an active template.
5. 5Select an instructor signature if the certificate uses a signature or stamp.
6. 6Select a registry type.
7. 7Select a training form.
8. 8Select a course or leave the assignment standalone.
9. 9Fill in title, validity, and remaining details.
10. 10Enable the assignment and save.

Assignment with a course

If you select a course, issue certificates from completions of that course. After saving, the course is treated as a fixed part of the configuration and should not be changed while editing.

Standalone assignment

If you do not select a course, the assignment is used for manual issuing from the certificate registry. Use it for documents that do not come directly from a Skillsive course completion.

Completeness

On the assignment list, check whether the configuration is complete. Missing active template, signature, or registry type can make the certificate unavailable for issuing.
