      Public Pages

      Every Organization, Issuer, Pathway, and Badge has a public page on Badgr that displays all the associated data of the item. Program administrators may wish to share the various URLs of their badging program offerings to learners, educators, or other interested parties. This article describes what each particular public view looks like, as well as tips on how to make sure the information on your public view is as up-to-date as possible.

      You can choose to display Issuers, Pathways, and/or Badges on the public pages or hide them from public view.

      Best Practice: Contact email addresses are accessible via public pages. We recommend using a generic email inbox (e.g. info@organization.com) when creating an Organization and/or Issuer(s).

      Badges Public View

      If you are an issuer, consider what information appears in public view when you are building your badges. This can help guide you to create clear descriptions that accurately describe the achievement.

       
      For badge earners:
      To access public view for a badge you have earned, sign in to your Badgr account and navigate to the Backpack. Select the badge you want to see publicly. On the right-hand side of the screen, click "view public page." Your screen will then display what others see when they view your badge. Screen_Shot_2020_08_19_at_12_26_21_PM
       
      For badge issuers:
      To access the public view of a badge template or a badge you have awarded, sign in to your Badgr account and navigate to the Issuers menu. Select the Issuer and then select the badge.
