Why is Description important?

πŸ““ The description plays a key role in communicating the value behind your credentials. It helps recipients - and anyone they share their certificate or badge with - understand what the achievement represents.

A well-written description can:

  • Highlight the purpose of your event or course,

  • Outline key learning outcomes,

  • Provide important context about the credential.

Without it, the digital wallet may appear empty or unfinished, reducing the perceived professionalism and impact of your certification.


Where is the description displayed?

Description can be found underneath your credentials. If you haven't added any, once you issue some credentials or Preview them, you may notice that the Digital Wallet seems empty:


Luckily, you can easily change it into a professional display of the value your credentials provide - just like that:


Where to add description and other details?

To add the description, you'll just need to visit your Groups tab. Once you're there:

  1. Enter the Group you want to add a description to.

  2. Go to the Enhanced Description section.

  3. Scroll down to Description, and enter the details you want to display.

  4. Press Save!

πŸ’‘ Please note that our description supports markdown - you can create beautiful descriptions using multiple kinds of formatting and links! For more details, please take a look at this article.

However, the description is just the beginning! Once you're in the Enhanced description section, you should also fill in other details, to provide more value for yur recipients:

  • "Details" section:

    • Type (eg. Certification, Achievement, Event)

    • Level (eg. Introductory, Professional)

    • Format (Online / Hybrid / Offline)

    • Duration

    • Price (Free / Paid)

    • Skills - List the skills your recipients have acquired through your training, webinar, or course. You can learn why it's important here.

  • "About" section:

    • Description - Give more details about your event or describe what your recipients had to do to get their award.

    • Learning Event Link - Paste the link to the learning event. The credential page will then have a hyperlink redirecting the viewers to the URL you provided.

  • "Earning criteria" section:

    • Add up to 10 earning criteria to showcase the specific requirements to earn this award.

For more information about your group's settings, check this article.

As soon as you add and save all the details, they will be displayed on all the credentials issued from your group, and your recipients will be able to learn more about your events just by visiting them. Congratulations! πŸ€“
