# Step 1: Create a certification generation request

## Example

Include the beneficiary’s parent name in the certificate. The parent’s name is “Sam Mandosa.” This is a mandatory field.

## **Steps**

**Step 1: Create a certification generation request**

a. Open this file: [**https://github.com/egovernments/DIVOC/blob/main/backend/vaccination\_api/pkg/certify\_handler.go**](https://github.com/egovernments/DIVOC/blob/main/backend/vaccination_api/pkg/certify_handler.go)

b. Add a parameter in the function “convertToCertifyUploadFields” called RecipientParentName.

```
func convertToCertifyUploadFields(data *Scanner) *db.CertifyUploadFields {
	return &db.CertifyUploadFields{
		PreEnrollmentCode:         data.Text("preEnrollmentCode"),
		RecipientName:             data.Text("recipientName"),
RecipientParentName:        data.Text("recipientParentName"),
		RecipientMobileNumber:  data.Text("recipientMobileNumber"),
		RecipientDOB:              data.Text("recipientDOB"),
		RecipientGender:           data.Text("recipientGender"),
		RecipientNationality:      data.Text("recipientNationality"),
		RecipientIdentity:         data.Text("recipientIdentity"),
		RecipientAge:              data.Text("recipientAge"),
		RecipientAddressLine1:  data.Text("recipientAddressLine1"),
		RecipientAddressLine2:  data.Text("recipientAddressLine2"),
		RecipientDistrict:         data.Text("recipientDistrict"),
		RecipientState:            data.Text("recipientState"),
		RecipientPincode:          data.Text("recipientPincode"),
		VaccinationBatch:          data.Text("vaccinationBatch"),
		VaccinationDate:           data.Text("vaccinationDate"),
		VaccinationDose:           data.Text("vaccinationDose"),
		VaccinationTotalDoses:   data.Text("vaccinationTotalDoses"),
	VaccinationEffectiveStart:data.Text("vaccinationEffectiveStart"),
	VaccinationEffectiveEnd:data.Text("vaccinationEffectiveEnd"),
	VaccinationManufacturer:   data.Text("vaccinationManufacturer"),
		VaccinationName:           data.Text("vaccinationName"),
		VaccinatorName:            data.Text("vaccinatorName"),
		FacilityName:              data.Text("facilityName"),
		FacilityAddressLine1:      data.Text("facilityAddressLine1"),
		FacilityAddressLine2:      data.Text("facilityAddressLine2"),
		FacilityDistrict:          data.Text("facilityDistrict"),
		FacilityState:             data.Text("facilityState"),
		FacilityPincode:           data.Text("facilityPincode"),
	}
}
```

c. Add RecipientParentName in the function “createCertificate” to make the field mandatory.

```
recipient := &models.CertificationRequestRecipient{
		Name: &certifyData.RecipientName,
		Age:  recipientAge,
		Address: &models.CertificationRequestRecipientAddress{
			AddressLine1: &certifyData.RecipientAddressLine1,
			AddressLine2: certifyData.RecipientAddressLine2,
			District:     &certifyData.RecipientDistrict,
			Pincode:      &certifyData.RecipientPincode,
			State:        &certifyData.RecipientState,
		},
		Contact:     contact,
		Dob:         dateAdr(strfmt.Date(dob)),
		Gender:      &certifyData.RecipientGender,
		Nationality: &certifyData.RecipientNationality,
		ParentName: &certifyData.RecipientParentName,
		Identity:    &certifyData.RecipientIdentity,
	}
```

d. If the data is uploaded via CSV, then add this column to the CSV template for this field. Open “[**application-default.yml**](https://github.com/egovernments/DIVOC/edit/main/backend/vaccination_api/config/application-default.yml)” and update the certificate section in this file.

* As a standard practice, we recommend you to update the informative files mentioned in step 1 of this section.
* Make sure the name matches exactly with the name convertToCertifyUploadFields function that you edited in step 1.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://divoc.digit.org/divoc-wiki-3.1/platform/configuration/configuring-the-certification-and-verification-component/configuring-certificates/step-1-create-a-certification-generation-request.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
