What this module supports

The Certificates module provides the template and generation workspace for school identity cards. It connects student and staff profile data to printable card layouts so schools can manage design standards and card production from a dedicated operational area.

Key capabilities

  • create and manage Student ID Card Templates
  • create and manage Staff ID Card Templates
  • run generation flows through Generate Student ID Cards
  • run generation flows through Generate Staff ID Cards
  • review template status, orientation, preview actions, and edit controls from the template tables

UI surface in Smart School

The live Smart School UI currently exposes this module through four dedicated routes:

  • Student ID Card Templates
  • Staff ID Card Templates
  • Generate Student ID Cards
  • Generate Staff ID Cards

In the current UI, the student-template workspace includes search, status filtering, template orientation, activation status, and actions such as Preview, Edit, and Delete. That makes Certificates a structured production surface rather than a single print button.

Important note

Certificate and ID generation quality depends on clean student and staff profile data. Template work should also be permission-controlled carefully because card outputs often carry official identity information.
