Example files: Generating a certificate from Storyline
Thank you for the detailed thoughts and use-case Andrew. I've attached this thread and your submitted feature request to our internal report as we track user requests and so that we can pop in and update you here when we can.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
Thanks, Leslie--I spent some time this afternoon trying to work with the old download files Brian Batt provided on this site, and despite watching the video, I have been completely unable to make them work in my test course published in Storyline 360. At this point, I would be happy to put all the content except the learner's name onto the .png image file, if I could only sort out how to pull the learner's name into showing on top of that image file, in the right place, so they can print it out. So far, I have been completely unable to get a name to appear at all when experimenting with a test file published for Web. Since the process requires manually tweaking the report.html file, and adding a graphic file, I can't publish to Articulate 360 to test, so I'm working locally. Would you suggest I post on the forum, or would Support be willing to help? One way or another, I need to make this work to satisfy the client's Latin American compliance team requirements. They really want that printable certificate. Thanks for any thoughts you may have.
Hi Leslie,
I see that this request from Andrew is a few years old, but am I correct to conclude that this feature remains unavailable in Storyline 360? I need a very similar certificate feature to be incorporated in to our courses. I've been neck-deep in these articles all morning and still haven't found a solution to pulling the learner's name on to a certificate. Thanks!
Hello Erica, and thanks for following up!
You're correct that this isn't a feature in Storyline; however, many folks in the community have chimed in with ways to achieve this. Happy to share what I've found!
- I see Darren responded to you here with a tutorial on adding text variables.
- Here's an article that might help. It shows an example of two JavaScript triggers to get the current date, capture the learner's name, and print a certificate.
- I also found another solution from a community member here that will pull the user's name.
I hope you find one of these useful! And I'm looking forward to seeing what other community members chime in with!
