Gamification
Encourage users to participate and contribute content in the community by providing incentives in the form of points, achievement levels, and badges.
Use the gamification framework to:
- Configure point values associated with specific user activities.
- Define achievement levels based on earned points.
- Create and assign badges to recognize users.
Community administrators can:
- Create rules and configure points that users receive for activities on the community.
- Create tracks to logically separate points assigned in the communities into different areas.
- Create levels in the community where users can achieve expertise or a reputation and then configure level ranges within each level definition.
- Create badges to award to users for different achievements.
Community users can:
- Perform activities and accrue points.
- Achieve levels based on point totals.
- View leaderboards to find community experts on specific forums or topics.
- See their own standing within the community.
See gamification achievements on their user profiles.
