Certificates

Why did the HL Dec Team hard code certificate expiry reminders to go out 7 and 2 days prior to expiration ? Many certification programs require more than a week to schedule the re-training, let alone the time required to complete the recertification process. It seems to me that a more efficient programming approach would be to make the reminder windows variable data. Let the account admin specify how many days in advance the first and second notice are sent. When setting up the certificate the options should allow the Account Admin to specify how many days before expiration the first and second notice should be sent and which Email Template to use for each. Also a Workflow trigger based X days before on Certificate expiration and a toggle to turn on-off reminder emails.

Ability to add custom certificate to the template options.

Currently, we can only add custom VALUES in HL's certificate builder. It would be great if we can also add custom FIELDS (from the contact list) to the certificates as well. It's a problem we're facing right now. We've got this workflow automation going where we need to send certificates to people from our contact list that have passed a certain condition. The certificate should include information we've inputted in the contact/smart list fields. The roundabout method we thought of was making the certificate in the Document/Contract section since custom fields can be used there. But Docs/Contracts are only available as portrait and we need our certificates to be landscape in orientation. So please. If there's a solution we haven't thought of, kindly let me know. Updates would really be nice---both for Certificates to have custom FIELDS available, and for the latter and the Docs/Contracts to have custom sizing or at the very least have the option to be in landscape orientation. Thanks!

Could we please have the option to set the size of the certificates to a standard US Letter size 8.5” x 11”

It would be great to be able to have a template so each certificate could duplicates.

Ability to issue smaller size certificate for shorter courses and use the current certificate size for full program or more in depth courses.

Certificates should be able to be tied to specific lessons assignments or assessments. This would allow you to have multiple certificates in one course, or simply make it to that certain material is tied to a certificate while other materials are just extra, or resources. You should also be able to define the standards of a certificate. This would allow you to need certain score, or get to a certain length of a course to achieve the certificate. Use cases: 3 levels of certificates in one course. I can have a novice level, a professional level, and a masters level certificates in one course. I could make a course where not everything needs to be watched but is decided according to what score is received and how much of the material is completed. 70% on a test and must have watched at least 50% of the material. This is helpful if people are coming in to a course at different skill levels and can choose to watch the information that they specifically need. I can have the main material tied to a certificate, but have extra and free material that I could watch at any time. It doesn’t matter if I watch those videos or not to achieve the certificate they just deepen, or give extra information that some may need while others don’t.
