Advanced/Graded polls

Set a pass rate using Advanced/Graded polls to test your audience in your CPD events.

WorkCast users with a Business Pro or Enterprise plan are able to use CPD within their online events.

Graded polls are one of the easiest ways to offer testing and CPD/certification to your audience. They can be used in LIVE, SIMULIVE and ON-DEMAND events.

Creating your certificate

When an attendee reaches your pass mark, WorkCast creates a personalised certificate for them. You design the certificate yourself as a PDF, and add tags where you want the attendee's details to appear. When the attendee opens their certificate, each tag is replaced with their information.

Available tags

Tag We replace with
[[name]] The attendee's first and last name.
[[title]] The certificate title you entered in the certificate settings.
[[date]] Live events: the event date.
On-demand events: the date the attendee passed.

The date uses the format set in the Studio.
[[mark]]  The attendee's pass mark.


How tags are replaced

  • Text size matches your tag. The replacement text uses the same font size as the tag. To make a name appear larger, make the tag larger.

  • Text is centred on the tag. The replacement text is always centred on the tag's position, whatever the tag's own alignment. Place each tag in the centre of the space you want the text to fill.

  • Text is always black. Replacement text is shown in black only, so use a light background where your tags sit.

  • Long text wraps onto a new line. If the text is longer than 90% of the certificate's width, it continues on the next line. Leave space below [[name]] and [[title]] so long names or titles don't overlap other parts of your design.

Tip: Before you publish your event, test your certificate with a long name and event title to check that everything fits.

*IMPORTANT NOTE*  If you have edited the On Demand Media using the Trim Media function you will need to download this version of the media, reupload to the account and attach to the On Demand session before adding your Graded Polls for these to work. This is because the platform needs to recognise the edited version as a new piece of media.

Should you update/change/trim the media the poll(s) will be removed from the event and you must re-add your poll(s)
