02Serial & print rules
A considered format.
Clear printing choices.
Certificate for controls which data fields are available and who the template can be printed for. Prefix, Start at and Postfix define serial format. Separate choices cover withdrawn students, parent-portal printing and how often the certificate may be issued.
- Build a serial from prefix + number + postfix.
- Control inclusion of withdrawn or left students.
- Choose parent-portal printing and issuance frequency.
Why it matters for your school
The template carries its printing decisions alongside its title, instead of relying on staff to remember them.

03Canvas design
Arrange the page.
Keep the detail connected.
The design workspace brings layers, text, images and data fields around a central canvas. Paper size, portrait or landscape orientation, dimensions, background and guides define the page, while Preview provides a review path.
- Arrange document elements using the canvas and layers.
- Use recipient and system fields rather than typing every value.
- Review paper size, orientation, background and guides.
Why it matters for your school
One saved layout can express a consistent school document while retaining the relevant recipient details.
- 01 · Layers
- Find the title, body, serial, date and signature elements in one ordered list.
- 02 · Certificate canvas
- See the complete document with rulers, guides and the selected text area.
- 03 · Element properties
- Refine position, dimensions, alignment, order and text formatting beside the page.
04Starting layouts
Start with a layout.
Make it your school’s.
The supplied template gallery groups starting layouts into Official, Academic, Award, Sports, Records, Exam, Staff and Basic. A blank canvas is also shown. Applying a layout replaces the current design; its elements remain editable in the ERP.
- Browse categories to find a relevant starting layout.
- Choose a blank canvas when a fresh design is needed.
- Applying a starting layout replaces the current design.
Why it matters for your school
The design process can start from an organised layout rather than an empty page every time.

05Template organisation
Design is one part.
Organisation is the other.
The register menu provides Manage Custom Certificate Field(s), Order Certificates and Change History. Archive, Description and Reset appear on the template row. These paths stay distinct from editing the page layout.
- Keep custom certificate fields in a related setup path.
- Review template order and change history.
- Treat archive and reset as separate template decisions.
Why it matters for your school
Reusable designs stay organised as the school’s document requirements evolve.

Before your school gets startedA few important
A few important
distinctions.
Discuss the design certificate workflow with the Schogle team, using your school’s requirements.
Does designing a certificate issue it?
No. Design Certificate prepares the template and its rules. Print Certificate contains recipient selection, Preview and Generate & assign serials.
How are serial numbers formatted?
The supplied configuration uses prefix + number + postfix. BON, 1 and /2026 produce BON1/2026, then BON2/2026.
Can parents print a certificate?
The template configuration includes a parent-portal printing choice. Confirm parent access and the selected issuance rule in a demo.
What happens when a starting layout is applied?
The gallery states that applying it replaces the current design, with elements remaining editable in the ERP.
Can a certificate include withdrawn students?
Yes or No is a template-level choice. The screen states that No hides students who have left from the recipient list.
The supplied screens show the register, configuration, canvas and starting-layout gallery. Confirm template availability, custom-field setup, reset effects and issuance-rule options in a demo.
Design once, thoughtfully.
Print with the right context.
