Hello. I am using adobe captivate 9 and I want to enable the option for a certificate of completion at the end of the course.  I have tried to create a new slide at the end, then click on Interactions, and then learning interactions.  However I don't know how the user can insert the name so it will appear on the certificate.

It depends what you need.

You can get very cleaver with Javascriot etc and generate certificates away from cpativate nad store records in dtabases bypass need for LMS or allow you to cpature much more information than an LMS can mange.

You can also alter the certificate (or create your own) to include additional information. I've had to include lots of variable data about continuing education units (CEUs) and other things, so I've generated my own Certificates of Completion on the last slide in the past.

I'm just curious to know how do you create a certificate of your own? Would you please share the trick?

This is a different approach if you expect learners to either print or PDF their completion.

Please give the full version number, there were 3 versions of 9.

Are you using a LMS? Normally the user variable that will be inserted on the certificate for the name is cpQuizInfoStudentName. If the LMS allows it this variable will get its alue from the LMS and the account used to log in on the LMS. You have to test.

If this is not working, you can have a Text Entry Box in your course, for which yoyu define cpQuizInfoStudentName as associated variable.

I will try using a Text Entry Box, but I don't know how to define an associated variable.
