# How To Enable Badgr and Add a Badge For The Course?
### Overview
Badgr is an open-credentialing ecosystem that integrates into your learning management platform. Using Badgr, course teams can design and automatically issue secure digital badges to recognize and reward student milestones, task completions, or passing statuses.
Configuring badges requires a two-part setup: connecting your global Badgr account credentials to your administration platform settings, and assigning specific badge identifier keys to an individual course run.
### Step 1: Extract Your Issuer Details from Badgr
Before configuring settings in your platform, you must generate a profile on Badgr and extract your technical data strings.
1. Navigate to the official credentialing portal (e.g., [badgr.com](https://badgr.com)
2. Select your designated **Issuer** profile tab.
3. Look closely at your browser's address window. Copy the specific trailing string text representing your unique **Issuer Slug** from the URL path.
- *Example path format:* `https://badgr.com/issuers/{your-issuer-slug}/badges`
### Step 2: Link Badgr Credentials to Your Administration Panel
Next, you must establish a secure master synchronization bridge using your platform's backend panel settings.
1. Log in to your platform's administrative **Management Panel** frontend.
2. Expand the **Settings** directory and select **Integrations**.
3. Locate the **Badgr Issuer Slug** input field and paste the text string you copied in Step 1.
4. Input your official Badgr administrative profile credentials directly into the **Badgr Username** (Account Email) and **Badgr Password** text fields.
5. Click **Save**.
The platform securely verifies your API connection. Upon success, a new form panel titled **Add Badgr Fields** or **Course Badges** will instantly populate directly below your integration settings.
### Step 3: Extract the Specific Badge Server Slug
Every individual milestone badge you create contains a unique cryptographic identifier that must be assigned directly to your target course run.
1. Return to your open **Badgr Account Dashboard** tab.
2. Under your active Issuer profile, click directly on the specific image thumbnail or title of the **Badge** you intend to use for this course.
3. Locate and click the **View JSON** or **Technical Details** option button on the badge management card.
4. Review the raw data block to find the `"id"` metadata text line. It will resemble this structure:
```
"id": "https://api.badgr.io/public/badges/Your-Unique-Badge-Server-Slug"
```
5. Carefully copy **only** the tail segment of that path string string (the variable string representing your actual `Your-Unique-Badge-Server-Slug`).
### Step 4: Add the Badge to Your Course Key
The final step tells the platform exactly which course run should trigger and issue your digital badge asset.
1. Return to your platform's **Management Panel \> Settings \> Integrations** view workspace.
2. Locate the freshly unlocked **Course Badge Assignment** fields.
3. Complete the configuration rows:
- **Course Key:** Enter the complete backend string ID of your target course run (formatted strictly like `course-v1:OrgCode+NumCode+RunCode`).
- **Course Mode:** Select or enter your explicit enrollment track mode criteria (e.g., `verified`, `honor`, or `audit`).
- **Badgr Server Slug:** Paste the distinct badge ID segment string you extracted from the JSON file view in Step 3.
4. Click **Save** to compile changes.
The digital credentialing engine is now active for that specific course run. Once a student reaches the required graduation benchmarks or certificate triggers defined inside your platform settings, the system will instantly deploy an automated issuance call to push the earned badge to their student profile dashboard.
