Unique certificate ID #

We're starting to implement a learning plan in Docebo and the regulator we're partnering with requires that the certificate includes a unique identifier that follows this format: AA123456 (company code and then a unique 6 digit number).

Based on what I'm seeing in Docebo, the certificate # is in the format of LP1, LP2, LP3, etc. Anyone have any ideas for how to give each user a unique identifier that follows the required format? It doesn't need to be the certificate # per se (though, if we could update that format, that would be great), it could be a unique user id or some other field that we could print on the certificate that's associated with that user. We also need to include this number in the report we generate.

Anyone have any thoughts?

    There is a short code that will create a unique certificate # for courses as well:

    [course_certificate_number]

    I added a quick test I did. The cert code is:

    The output includes the static letters followed by the certificate number count; in my case “12” (see attached)

    Thanks ​@lrnlab - appreciate the suggestion! Unfortunately, we need it to follow the pattern ABC123456 and we need that number to be added to a report that we can share out. For some reason [course_certificate_number] isn’t something that it seems can be added to a report.

    Not sure I understand the “pattern”...in my example, you can set a “prefix” like “ABC” and the cert count short code will start counting up from the number “1” and is incremental for each new cert issued. So your first issued cert would have the number “ABC1”, then second, “ABC2” and so on.

    Does that help?

    And yes, the cert # does not appear on any reports I can think of.

    The pattern that we need to report requires 6 digits. So, it would have to be ABC000001, ABC000002, etc.

    Ok I get it...maybe Docebo have a way to add a mask to the certificate count number so that it includes the leading zeroes? Perhaps you can ask support?
