Relocating Certificate Settings into the Certificates Tab

:backhand_index_pointing_right: For the full context of the overall project to migrate all Advanced Settings into more suitable locations, see https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AwAjOAE

Overview

This project proposes migrating certificate-related configurations from the Studio Advanced Settings page into the existing Certificates tab, consolidating all certificate options in one dedicated place.

Problem

Currently, some certificate settings live in Advanced Settings while others are in the Certificates tab. This separation creates confusion for course authors, who may overlook essential options or configure them incorrectly, leading to inconsistencies in certificate generation.

Use Cases

  • As a course author, I need all certificate-related configurations in the Certificates tab so I can manage them without searching in multiple places.

  • As an instructor, I need a single interface to control certificate behavior in order to ensure accuracy and save time.

Supporting Data

Schemaโ€™s analysis identified 3 certificate-related settings in Advanced Settings.

  1. Certificate web/html view overrides

  2. Certificate name (short)

  3. Certificate name (long)

Relocating them into the Certificates tab will:

  • Provide a single source of truth for all certificate management.

  • Reduce authoring errors caused by scattered certificate settings.

  • Align with the broader effort to streamline Studio by removing redundant configuration pages.
