Create a certificate registry type

A registry type controls which registry a certificate belongs to and how its number is generated.

Create the registry type

1. 1Open Organization → Certificates.
2. 2Go to the registry types section.
3. 3Add a new registry type.
4. 4Enter a short code, for example OSH.
5. 5Enter the registry name.
6. 6Add a description if administrators need extra context.
7. 7Set the number format.
8. 8Save the type as active.

Number format

The number format can use these tokens:

• {Code} — registry type code,
• {Year} — issue year,
• {Sequence} — sequential number in the registry.

Example format:

{Code}/{Year}/{Sequence}

For code OSH, this format can produce OSH/2026/001.

Registry type code

The code should be short and stable. After creating the registry type, do not treat the code like a normal display name for frequent changes, because it is part of certificate numbering.

Where it is used

Select the registry type in a certificate assignment. That tells Skillsive how to number certificates issued from that template and process.
