Creating certificates

The Certificate Generator Template comes with a custom data type called 'Certificate'. This data type has the following fields:

• Award Description (text) - this is the description of why the certificate is being awarded

• Date (text) - the date on which the certificate is being awarded

• Link (text) - the URL link of the PDF of the certificate

• Name (Awardee) (text) - the name of the person the certificate is being awarded to

• Signature of Signer (text) - the name of the person who is awarding the certificate (will be used for the signature on the certificate)

Each time a user hits the 'Create' button on the index page, a new Certificate is created in the database. This is the data used to create the PDF of the certificate (see next section).
