Add Custom Data Fields to Badges

Define custom fields for any additional data you need on your badges and certificates. Custom fields appear on the public verification page and can be used as dynamic placeholders in certificate designs.

Key Benefits

Unlimited Custom Fields

Add as many custom fields as you need — course hours, scores, instructor name, department, or any other data relevant to your program.

Dynamic Certificate Placeholders

Custom fields can be used as dynamic placeholders in the certificate designer. The data fills in automatically for each recipient.

Public Verification Display

Custom field data appears on the public badge verification page, giving earners and verifiers access to the full credential details.

CSV/Excel Import Support

Include custom field values in your CSV or Excel file when bulk-issuing badges. Each column maps to a custom field.

How It Works

1

Define Custom Fields

When creating or editing a badge template, add custom fields with a name and type for each additional data point you need.

2

Map to Certificate

In the certificate designer, insert dynamic field placeholders that reference your custom fields. They auto-fill when certificates are generated.

3

Include in Bulk Upload

When issuing via CSV/Excel, add columns for each custom field. The values are imported along with recipient details.

4

View on Verification Page

Custom field data is displayed on the public verification page alongside standard badge information.
