This guide provides step-by-step instructions for administrators on creating and using certificates in Das Admin and the admin section of their sites. Certificates serve as a way to acknowledge and reward learners upon completing specific tasks or courses. This guide outlines creating certificates, customizing their content, and managing their details.
Locating the Certificates page
Das Admin
From Das admin, navigate to the Certificates tab using the left-side navigation menu.
Site admin dashboard
Access the site admin dashboard section using the three-dot More menu from the home page of your JUNO site.
Navigate to the Content tab.
Select the Certificates tab to access the certificate builder.
Creating a new certificate
Look for the Create a New Certificate button at the top of the certificates list from Das Admin's Certificate page or the site admin dashboard's Certificate section.
Once Selected, the New Certificate creation window opens, allowing you to give your certificate a Title and choose between the Default Certificate Template or creating a Custom HTML Certificate in the Certificate Type dropdown.
Each choice in this dropdown menu corresponds to a distinct template on the Certificate Information tab. Each template is designed to display particular fields and customized options based on the selected certificate template type. To see the two available template options separately, please refer to each option below and its corresponding images.
For example, selecting the DEFAULT CERTIFICATE TEMPLATE option will allow you to customize a pre-set template with a default design layout. This choice will display a particular view on the Certificate Information tab, reflecting the selected template's configuration.
Select the Create Certificate button to finish the initial setup of your certificate.
Customizing a default certificate template
After selecting Create Certificate, you will be directed to the Certificate Information page for further customization.

Certificate Title (Max character limit: 67).

Background Image
To add a new background image, Drag and drop an image from your file locator or select the pre-set blank image under the Background Image section, and your file locator will open, allowing you to choose an image.
Images uploaded should have an aspect ratio of 8:10 (Width: Height) to ensure a proper fit.
The maximum allowed file size for the background image is 10 MB.
Supported Image File Types
The certificate system supports the following image file types to maintain consistency and compatibility:
PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, TIF, WebP, BMP, SVG.
Replacing an Existing Image
Drag and drop a new image over the current image, or select the current image in the Background Image section to update an existing background image. This will replace the current image with the newly uploaded one.
Admin Details Section
Under the Admin Details section, provide the admin's name and role for the certificate signature.
Template Options Section
Use the Template Options section to select which dynamic variables should be displayed on the certificate. Check the corresponding radio buttons to show or hide variables such as Platform Name, Credits Earned, Certificate ID, Background Image, Ribbon, and Use Image Only (this selection hides all other options)
Ensure you select the Save button that will populate in the right-hand corner once any changes have been made to save them.
Customizing an HTML certificate template
You can create a custom HTML certificate template by selecting the Custom HTML Certificate option in the Create New Certificate window. This option allows you to design a certificate using custom HTML and CSS, including merge variables for dynamic content.
Customize the Certificate Information tab as described above, including Title and Description.
Utilize the HTML Content section to modify preloaded HTML.
To pull dynamic data into certificates, utilize the Dynamic Variables section and the predefined variables, such as Learner name, completion date, and credits earned.
