I have been trying to use the Certificate widget within Captivate 8's Learning Interactions.  I need the certificate to display the trainee's name.  I seem to be missing some steps since I cannot get it to work.

Help please!

Are you using a LMS?  If you look at the Variables (Project menu), you'll see that two user variables are automatically created:

cpQuizInfoStudentID    and cpQuizInfoStudentName

If the LMS allows it, those variables will get their value from the login account on the LMS. The second variable is used to insert the name of the trainee on the certificate.

Another way is to ask the user for his name, using a Text Entry Box and associate the variable cpQuizInfoStudentName with that TEB.

    Hi,

    My certificate had been working, but it stopped. Now, I notice that the text entry box does not provide cpquizinfostudentname as an option anymore. Instead it only has cpquizinfostudentid. How can I put that option back in the variables section, and get my certificate to fill in the name like it was doing before. Also, I'm not sure what broke it in the first place. Thanks!

    For whatever it's worth... I've also experienced this problem multiple times.  I can't figure out why it happens, I've been unable to find an action that causes it to disappear.  But it seems that the name variable is very touchy.
