Coming soonDesign digital credentials.
Use the visual designer in Ver.iD Studio to define a digital credential’s data, its meaning and the rules for issuance and use.
The visual designer is coming soon to Ver.iD Studio.
Define what your credential means.
A digital credential can record a membership or the completion of a course. During design, you define the data needed, who may confirm it and which conditions apply. A rulebook describes the meaning, data and rules for a digital credential.
The upcoming visual designer in Ver.iD Studio will let you bring together the rulebook, data fields and rules for issuance and use. Subject-matter experts and developers can then work from the same design.
Build on existing rulebooks.
Use suitable rulebooks as a starting point for your design, building on definitions and rules that are already documented.
The visual designer shows how the rulebook relates to data fields and trust arrangements. You assess which parts fit your use case and what needs to be added.

Acme networkOne rulebook for your whole team.
Subject experts and developers work from the same rulebook. Describe the meaning, source and format of each data field, including whether it is required or optional.
The visual designer shows how a rule relates to a data field, for example when that field is required. You can assess the meaning and technical definition side by side.
Clear rules for issuance and use.
Define in the rulebook who may issue, which checks are required and how long a credential remains valid. Also specify when it must be revoked.
The visual designer shows these conditions as part of the design. Issuance, verification and status management are carried out through the other platform capabilities. The relying party decides whether to accept a credential.
From design to issuance and use.
Practical questions about Design.
No. The rulebook describes the meaning, data and rules you reuse. Each issuance supplies the data for the individual digital credential.
- Do I need a new design each time I issue a credential?
- No. The rulebook describes the meaning, data and rules you reuse. Each issuance supplies the data for the individual digital credential.
- Does changing the design change credentials that have already been issued?
- No. Changing the design does not modify previously issued credentials. Changed data requires a new issuance; any revocation of the earlier credential is handled separately.
- Does the same design work with every wallet?
- Not automatically. The wallet must support the data format and the chosen exchange mechanism. Account for this in your design; a shared rulebook does not guarantee technical compatibility.
