Certifying an Element (prior versions)

Version 6.3.1 introduces Certification Levels for elements. See Certification Levels for Elements (6.3.1) instead of this article.

Certification is a means for Admin and Power Users to identify elements that have been approved as being valid and accurate. The Certified icon will be displayed on tiles on the Homepage.

Based on the setting in the Config Variables (step 3), this field may be used to filter or group your displayed tiles.
