      My Skills Pass/Backpack - Spaces set up explained

      Use this guide to complete the form and submit preferences for your new Space.

      When you have purchased a Space on My Skills Pass or My Skills Backpack, we will ask you to complete this form to submit your preferences for how the Space is set up.

      The information below will support you to understand each item on the form.

      * denotes mandatory fields on the form.

      Passport*

      This dictates which passport we set your space up on. Spaces are available to purchase on My Skills Pass and My Skills Backpack.

      For more information on My Skills Pass and My Skills Backpack, please see this guide.

      Please note that your answer should be the same as the passport that your Open Badge Factory Pro account is linked to to enable seamless linking.

      Unique Identifier*

      The unique identifier is used to create a URL that will serve as the address of this space and features in member log in and invite links.

      This will automatically be the full name of the Space minus text spaces unless specified otherwise, e.g. “Test Space” becomes “testspace”, but you can choose something else if you require something different in your Space’s URL, such as a shortened version of the space name.
