Documentation

Use this page as the practical guide for setup, result publishing, and day-to-day operation.

AzAd Smart Verifier is designed to stay manageable after launch. The main setup work is connecting a source, validating the sync, creating the public form, and publishing it. After that, most teams only need to keep their Google Sheet or CSV source updated as new results, certificates, or records are issued.

Before You Start

What you should prepare first

  • A WordPress site with the Free plugin installed and activated
  • A clean Google Sheet, published CSV URL, or CSV export file
  • Stable column names for verification code, name, status, and document fields
  • A decision on whether you need only public verification or also Pro output workflows
First Success

Your minimum working deployment

  • Add one source and validate the headers
  • Run sync and confirm records were imported locally
  • Create one verification form for the target dataset
  • Publish it with a shortcode or Elementor
  • Test a real code from the synced records
Setup Sequence

The recommended order of work

Following the correct sequence avoids the usual problems of mismatched headers, empty result templates, or publishing a form before the source is actually reliable.

01

Add the source

Use Google Sheets or CSV depending on how your institution already manages records. Keep the source simple and consistent before syncing.

02

Validate and sync locally

The public site should search local synced records, not request the spreadsheet on every visitor lookup. This is better for speed and reliability.

03

Create the form

Choose the label, placeholder, button text, layout, and captcha behavior that fit the verification experience you want to publish.

04

Design the output

Use default result rendering or create a custom result card or certificate template that maps your record fields clearly.

05

Publish on the frontend

Place the saved form with shortcode or Elementor, then test it with known sample records before announcing the page publicly.

06

Maintain the source

After launch, the ongoing job is mostly record maintenance in the sheet and periodic sync review, not rebuilding the page experience.

For Schools and Institutes

How to prepare education datasets

  • Use one record per student, certificate, or result row
  • Keep the verification code unique and stable
  • Separate identity fields from marks or completion fields
  • Decide early whether the output is a simple lookup or a printable document
  • Review subject, total, grade, and status columns before sync
When To Add Pro

Upgrade only when the workflow needs it

  • Add Pro for PDF generation and email delivery
  • Use Pro when document templates need bundled Google fonts
  • Use Pro if preview-led document workflows matter before send or export
  • Add Pro for import and export migration routines
  • Keep the Free plugin active underneath any Pro install

Common setup mistakes to avoid

Do not publish the form before the synced dataset is verified, and do not keep changing source headers after the mapping is already working. Both issues cause most first-time rollout problems.
