Gamification Improvements coming to Qlik Community

[Melissa_Potvin]

Dear Community,  When we launched on our new platform in November 2018 a very limited set of gamification options were deployed and an out-of-the-box ranking structure was utilized.   We are now evolving to the next phase.   On Monday, May 11  we are deploying 'phase 1' gamification updates to our Qlik community.    Phase 1 will accomplish 4 objectives:

1. New Imagery
   Newly created by Qlik Brand & Creative Services Team, all rank and badge imagery will be updated utilizing the Qlik brand color palette and I'm confident you will find them far more fabulous than what we have today. 

2. Increasing # of badge opportunities
   We have added over 50+ new badge opportunities! Which means you will be able to REALLY collect them and show them off on your profile page.   You can see what badges another member has by hovering over their name in the community.   While we know this is serious business, it is also meant to be fun!   (note: May 11, 2020 -  when we go live with the new badges this will trigger a notification alert in the community if you've already earned that new badge.  For our most active members, this may mean many system alerts.  For this reason we decided to do a slow roll out.  It may take a few business days for all the badges to be 'live' - this is nothing to be concerned about).

   A sneak peek at a few of our new badges:  

3. New Rank Names
   New Rank names have been customized for Qlik Community. They are designed to show a progression in ones level of credibility and also to be globally easy to understand.   We vetted our rank names with our Community MVP's as well and we thank all MVPs for their feedback. 
   
   If your rank name was "Original Title" it will automatically change to "New Title" as follows:
   

4. New Rank Icons
   Rank Icons are visual indicators of a persons rank. Our new rank icons are prominently displayed on user posts and on leaderboards.   Some ranks are receiving an updated image while some ranks had no icon whatsoever, so this is a nice improvement. 
   

To learn more about what changes to expect I encourage you to review the attached deck.    

There is so much more we know we can do with gamification.  Trust me, we know!  Please keep in mind this will be an evolution.  We hope you will enjoy the changes - we plan to deploy on Monday, May 11 - in the Evening (EST)

See you online and go get those badges!
