Welcome to our community

I'm a bit confused so imgine others will be too. Are you asking about simply printing on the certificate that it will expire on (whatever calculated date here)?

Cheers... Rick

Sorry about the confusion. Yes I am wanting to print on the certificate that this will expire xx/xx/xxxx this will be one year after the course has been completed. But I would like to know how to get captivate to automatically add the year onto the current date.

Hope this makes more sense.

Thanks

Hello,

This is pretty simple. There are three system variables that can indicate year, month and day: cpInfoCurrentYear cpInfoCurrentMonth and cpInfoCurrentDay

Create a user variable, I'll label it v_NextYear.

You create a standard advanced action CalcYear that will calculate this variable with this Expression:

Expression v_NextYear = cpInfoCurrentYear + 1

Attach this action (perhaps you'll have to add Continue as a second statement) on Enter of the slide where you want to have the date.

Insert a Text Caption where you use the variables, separated by / or whatever symbol you want:

$$cpInfoCurrentMonth$$/$$cpInfoCurrentDay$$/$$v_NextYear$$
