By default, Certificates Display Behavior was set to end. But this configuration can be override, for example want to set it early_no_info as default. Follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Open edX server console.

  2. Open and edit file /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/course_module.py.

  3. Find the following codes snippet:

    ...
    certificates_display_behavior = String(
        display_name=_("Certificates Display Behavior"),
        help=_(
            "Enter end, early_with_info, or early_no_info. After certificate generation, students who passed see a "
            "link to their certificates on the dashboard and students who did not pass see information about the "
            "grading configuration. The default is end, which displays this certificate information to all students "
            "after the course end date. To display this certificate information to all students as soon as "
            "certificates are generated, enter early_with_info. To display only the links to passing students as "
            "soon as certificates are generated, enter early_no_info."
        ),
        scope=Scope.settings,
        default="end"
    )
...

  4. Then update the code, change part default="end" from end to early_no_info. See the following codes snippet:

    ...
    certificates_display_behavior = String(
        display_name=_("Certificates Display Behavior"),
        help=_(
            "Enter end, early_with_info, or early_no_info. After certificate generation, students who passed see a "
            "link to their certificates on the dashboard and students who did not pass see information about the "
            "grading configuration. The default is end, which displays this certificate information to all students "
            "after the course end date. To display this certificate information to all students as soon as "
            "certificates are generated, enter early_with_info. To display only the links to passing students as "
            "soon as certificates are generated, enter early_no_info."
        ),
        scope=Scope.settings,
        default="early_no_info"
    )
...
