Training Certificate Module (PDCertificate): User Guide

Global settings

These settings are common to all PDCertificate instances throughout the platform.

Group propagation

The propagation of the groups is a course chaining subfeature: a certificate issued can cause the propagation of enrolment in related courses. If this option is globally enabled, then the enrolment propagation will automatically rebuild the user's groups in the propagated course, even if the original groups do not exist in the target course.

Max. number of documents per cron

This setting only applies to certificate instances having activated the automatic generation of eligible certificates. In this case, you will limit the number of documents that a single pass of the programmed task can generate at a time. Since PDF generation is computationally expensive, it is useful not to block scheduled tasks for too long a time. By reducing the number of generations, other tasks may be inserted between several runs of this task.

Note: the certificates are generated automatically, as soon as the conditions for delivrance are acquired.

The cron sends the certificates by mail

During the automatic generation of certificates, it is possible to request a systematic sending by email to the beneficiary.

Encryption level (activated plugin)

If the generated PDF document is protected, then you can adjust here the encryption level. Use it carefully as some recipients may not have a viewer suitable for too high an encryption level.

Default Certification Authority (activated plugin)

The certificates record a reference to one of the users of Moodle as the issuing authority. The rendering templates provide the fields (placeholders) for displaying this certifying authority on the generated documents. This setting allows to designate a moodle user as “Default Authority” who will be assigned automatically to any new issue.

Custom profile fields for the report

Default source of the name for activity in the reports

The name of the column that identifies the instance in the reports.

  • Module type (indexed): The generic name of the module, indexed by its internal id Moodle.
  • Name: the name of the activity instance (be careful, it may be non-single)
  • Identification number: The course module identification number.

Standard parameters of a plugin with license activation

These additional fields allow the registration of the TMA license allowing the unlocking of the “PRO” functionalities of the module. This license key can be requested directly from the plugin editor (ActiveProLearn) or from an authorized distributor.

Emulating the Community version

This setting temporarily allows to regress the features in “community” mode, even for a plugin referenced with a valid license key.

Pro version supplier

The unique code of distributor holding the key. The key will be checked by the distributor's services.

Pro licence key

A license key acquired from the publisher or one of its authorized distributors.
