To maintain a good overview on the badge classes that have been made and to give employees rights at the right level you can make a structure. You can make issuergroups and issuers.

We advise to follow the already existing organogram of your institution. This means that issuergroups are faculties of sectors. Issuers are the studies. 

Give acces to a new user

When you want to give a employee acces to the system you can do that by clicking on the tab Manage and then send an invitation from the right level.

Changing the right of an existing user

When somebody already had acces to the system you can change the rights & roles from the tab Users. Click first on the user for who you want the change the rights.

Tutorial

Making an issuergroup

First click on Manage. then click on the tab Issuer Groups. now you can click on Add new issuer group.

For making an issuergroup you need to fill the form below in edubadges. This needs to be done in Dutch and English.

You will need to fill in two fields.

1. Name
2. Discription

You only use the other fields if you want to publish on behalf of another organization, for example a partnership.

Making an Issuer

First click on Manage. then click on the tab Issuer. now you can click on Add new issuer.

To create an issuer, enter a name, description, URL and contact address in the form. You do this in Dutch and English.

You can also upload a logo. If you do not do this, the institution's logo will be displayed instead of the issuer.

If you are issuing on behalf of another organization, the logo of the issuer group will be shown.

Tutorial

First click on Manage. then click on the tab Issuer Groups. now you can click on Add new issuer group.

If you want to issue on behalf of another institution, slide the switch at "Issue on behalf of another organization". 

You then upload an image that is shown instead of the institution logo. Optionally, you can also enter a URL or LinkedIN identifier.

Tags is an additional functionality to provide structure. You can add tags to your badge class, so you can filter on them.

The tags can only be created, archived and deleted by an institution admin.

To create a tag, go to Change educational institution under the Manage tab.

Then click Add new tag at the bottom of the screen.

If you no longer want to add a tag to badge classes, but still want to filter on it, then
click on the Archive button. The tag will remain visible in the list after saving.

If you no longer want to add a tag to badge classes and do not want to be able to
filter on it, then click on the Delete button.

The tag will disappear from the list after saving.  When a tag is active, you can link it
to a badge class. You can link multiple tags to a badge class.

You can add or remove tags in a badge class at any time.

Under the Badge classes tab you can filter on 1 or more active or archived tags.
When you select multiple tags you will see the badge classes for which all selected tags apply. The tags can be found at the bottom of the filters, on the left of the screen.

You can archive issuer groups and issuers. This is useful if the organization's structure or the names of programs or departments change.

You must always archive the badge class(es) first, then the issuer(s), and then the issuer group. The Archive... button will only appear if this requirement has been met.

Do you want to de-archive a badge class, and have you already done so for the Issuer group and Issuer?

Then start by archiving the Issuer group, then the Issuer, and finally the badge class.
