Printing and Emailing a Course Completion Certificate in Storyline 360
Hey there. Thank you for the thoughtful response. Will need to spend some time on this. When you say "populate the certificate at the end," do you have your certificate on its own slide, or is it on the passing level on a Results slide for a final quiz?
So, I have my certificate on its own slide that they reach after the passing results. And I have it either with a text input that they fill in, or I used to pull their name directly from the LMS, but that function is currently broken with the update as of March. I also have it auto-populate the date on the certificate with the current date.
I don't suppose you'd be willing to share your file? I'd love to see the build.
Of course. I can't share the original file, but I ripped the basics of the certificates out and made a short demo. I also included a solution for the awkward placement of the certificate on the print page. There are some explanations for the slides on the first page of the file.
And I want to apologize in advance. The course I ripped this from had the certificate removed from the menu so they could not access it directly and even though I've reset all my menu options and added the certificate slides back in, I cannot get them to show in the menu, or my starting slide for that matter. But the print/email functions all work correctly. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
BrandonDameshek​ Hi Brandon, If you've never done this before it can be daunting (I remember the first one I did!) - this may help understand how it works, the following link goes to an interactive demo and a download of a freebie print certificate .story file. There is an example in the file download of a certifcate: printCertificate.html, it is placed in the Storyline output folder after you publish your Storyline module. This freebie is just for print - another "execute javascript" trigger will need to be added for email.
Hey there, Ange! Thanks for sending this over. I've seen this video previously. The thing I've noticed (which is the same thing I've noticed in the one I tried to create on my own) is that I can't seem to get the certificate to print to full screen. It reads left to right in portrait view, but looks even worse in landscape view.
