# 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.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
