Creating Badge Provider

The Badge Provider entity in the Skillable TMS identifies and links to your external badge provider account. Your Badges in the TMS will be associated with this badge provider.

Create a Badge Provider

To create your Badge Provider entity:

1. In the Admin menu, in the Badges group, select Create Badge Provider. This will open the Create Badge Provider page.
2. On the Basic Information tab, set the Name for your provider. This name should reflect the external provider relationship with your Organization, such as IPC-Credly.
3. Add a Description, if wanted.
4. Ensure Organization is set to the organization that will manage the Badge Provider. It defaults to your organization.
5. In the Badge Provider Type dropdown, select the external provider. Currently only Credly is available.
6. In the Badge Provider Organization Id field, enter your organization’s ID given to you by the external provider.
7. In the Badge Provider Api Authentication Token field, enter the token given to you by the external provider.
8. In the API URL field, enter the URL that will be used to Issue Badges from the external provider. This is what allows the TMS to call out to the provider to trigger badges to be issued.
9. On the Availability tab, add your child organizations that may use this Badge Provider for their badges.
10. Select Save.
