Open Badge Factory makes it possible to issue a badge to a large number of recipients using a CSV file.
You can do this from Issuer Tools / Issue a badge, by selecting the badge you want and then clicking on the ‘Bulk issuing’ link (see screenshot below).
Download and complete the CSV file template. The ‘Criteria_add’ column is optional. It can be used to add to the criteria defined when the badge was created, such as contextualising the issue event.
Upload the completed file. You can preview the list of imported recipients using the dedicated button. Click on the Issue badges button to issue the badge.
Important: Badge issuance via CSV upload enables customization of issue dates and personalized criteria for each recipient from a single file. Each file accommodates up to 10,000 recipients, with a daily processing limit of 2,000 badges. Therefore, a complete file containing 10,000 recipients will be processed over a 5-day period. However, issuance quotas are waived when sending through your own SMTP server (which requires configuration in the Administration Tools section of OBF).
Please also note that CSV file issuance is exclusively available with PRO service level subscriptions.
