Badges

Open Badge Factory provides reports on single badges where all general reports’ information is shown (see above).

Badges report’s front page has all issued badges listed, and it’s possible to see with one look how badges have been accepted.

It’s also possible to organise and search for badges with different search functions and categories, if those have been determined.

Reports on individual badges

You can also view badge specific reports by clicking the name of the badge in the Badges front page.

In the badge specific report site, it’s possible to take a closer look at general reports related to the badge (issuing events, number of recipients, etc.)

It’s also possible to access issuing event specific reports from the same page. If the badge is used in badge applications, those reports will also be visible here.

Issuing events

Reports related to issuing events mean those reports when the badge is issued with the Issuer tools → Issue badge function. By clicking the name of the issuing event in the list (that the issuer can define when issuing the badge), it’s possible to take a closer look at the reports related to that specific issuing event.

• Under the Not received title can be found those e-mail addresses that have not yet accepted the badge.
• Under the Accepted title can be found those e-mail addresses whose holders have accepted the badge and taken it for example to Open Badge Passport.
• Through the Send reminder message button, it’s possible to send a message about receiving the badge to all those who are on the Not received list.
• With the Delete this report function it’s possible to delete that specific issuing event from reports. This function can be used for example when a badge used for testing is taken to reports by mistake.

Badge applications

If a badge application has been attached to the badge, information regarding how many earners have received the badge via badge application will show under the Badge Applications title. If, for example, two different applications have been created for the same badge (for example regular review and peer assessment applications), both application types have their own report. It’s possible to look at the badge’s information in more detail by clicking the name of the badge (or of the form if it has been customised. The first thing shown in the report is when the badge has been issued the first time, how many applications there are, and how many badge earners. The graphic will tell the number of approved, rejected, and pending applications. General information on how many badges have been approved is also shown and more detailed information about the recipients/non-recipients can be accessed separately.
