Template-Based Certificate PDF Generation-Template Selection Logic

Video Transcription

We jump over to show a demo system where each of the templates is available. It's useful to go through a workflow on how OASIS internally generates this certificate.  When the user is ready to generate a PDF certificate, OASIS is going to check to see if there's  a course-specific template, basically a template that is specifically designed for a particular course. If yes, we're going to use this course-specific template.  A best use case is if you have a course that needs to be branded to accommodate another provider who is jointly providing the course.  Then they probably want their own logo on the certificate as well. So you probably want to create a course-specific template in that use case. But suppose there isn't.  Then OASIS is going to say, is there a credit-specific template for the credit that this course offers?  If there is, the system is going to use a template that's specifically designed for that credit.  If there isn't, OASIS is going to use the fallback default template, which is the system-wide template.  So this is just a visual workflow of a visual diagram on how OASIS internally determines what template to use. Now we're ready to show a real example.

Video Summary

In the video, a demo system is shown with various templates available. The video explains the workflow of how OASIS generates certificates internally. When generating a PDF certificate, OASIS checks for a course-specific template tailored to a particular course. If available, it uses that template, which is useful when branding a course for another provider. If a course-specific template is not available, OASIS then checks for a credit-specific template for the course's credit. If neither are found, the system falls back to using the default template. The video then proceeds to show a real example. No credits were mentioned for this video.
