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.

  • Gamification components
    The gamification feature includes several components, such as rules, levels, and tracks, that enable users to earn points and badges for community activities.

  • Gamification user interface components
    Gamification information appears on leaderboards, the user profile page, and content pages.
  • Moderate gamification
    Monitor points earned by users and award points and badges to users based on their participation within the community.
