A pathway shows the steps to a goal credential. Each step needs one or more credential groups. When a recipient earns what a step needs, Hyperstack can issue that step’s credential automatically. Recipients see their progress in their wallet and on their credential pages. For example: earn Data Analytics Foundations and Cyber Security Essentials, then get Cloud Architecture Professional.
Pathways are on the Enterprise plan. Only administrators can manage them.
