You can send a certificate to some or all of your respondents when they have completed an assessment. The certificate is attached to an email.
To access the certificate functionality click the Edit button on the left menu and then the Certificate link option.
You can configure your assessment certificates at any time but it will not be sent unless:
- You have an email address as one of the login fields for a "public" assessment. If your assessment has "private password" access you can have the assessment login as an email address. Assessments with "private email" access will always have an email address present.
- The assessment is set-up to send finishing emails in the assessment settings. This is because an certificate is attached to an email as a PDF attachment.
You can find more information on assessment access on Publishing on the Help.
You can change you assessment email settings by going to Edit -> Settings -> Emails.
You should also have the Name field as one of your key fields so that Brainsbuilder knows what name should be on the certificate.
All certificates are sent we a unique certificate ID to aid with certificate verification if necessary.
- Basic Information

Images used in certificates should not contain spaces as these images sometimes do not show in the certificate.
