Creating a digital recognition template

A template is the mold you reuse every time you recognize the same achievement (for example, “Intermediate Excel Course” or “Project Management Diploma”). You create it once and use it to issue to 1 or 10,000 people.

Before you start: choose the category and type

Digital credentials are organized in 3 categories with 31 specific types in total. Use this quick guide for the category:

Why does it matter? The type is recorded in the credential and shown on its public page (for example, “Master Degree conferred by…”), so a Verifier immediately understands what it is. The type no longer changes the form fields: all of them are always available. See the full list in Credential categories and types.

How to create the template

1. Click Create recognition template (Digital credentials menu or the red button at the top).
2. Choose the category in the modal.

3. Choose the specific type within the category. Use the < arrow to go back to the categories.

4. Fill in the form: Create an achievement template.

🔎 Note: each type shows a one-line description in the modal; use it as a quick reference without leaving the flow.
