Gamification Improvements coming to Qlik Community - Page 2 - Qlik Community

Melissa_Potvin · ‎2020-05-07

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:

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.
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).

Order of the new badges going out:
May 11
-Likes Given
- Topics Created

A sneak peek at a few of our new badges:
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:
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!

hi @Vegar ! That's a cool idea! Not sure if that is possible OOTB - I was thinking folks would want to collect all the badges, no? Perhaps all the badges are overkill 🙂 haha. I like the idea very much, thank you writing in. Always can count on you for feedback.

Another neat feature request is to be able to filter users based on badges.

Consider this badge overview

If I click the "2000 Likes Given" icon then it would be neat if it resulted in a list of the 7 user that have recieved this badge.

Hi @Melissa_Potvin ,

Thanks for your speedy response. Looking forward to my phone going crazy in the middle of the night again tomorrow a.m.! Great to hear that likes received are being recognised as well as those given.

Cheers,
Steve

@Vegar now we're talkin'! love this idea - duly noted!

Hi,

Loving the badges flowing in again this evening.

It would be great for each of them to know the actual number of likes, replies, etc.

I would like to know how many likes I need to get to cross the threshold and get the next badge. Not that I am competitive or anything.

I think this has already been mentioned, but It would also be great to find out who it is who has received the 10,000 likes badge, perhaps by clicking on it (I can hazard a guess who it is!).

Many thanks!

Steve

It seems like there is different criterias for counting Likes Recieved in the profile summary and in the badge generator.

Hovering over @stevedark avatar I read 1956 likes and (as he posted yesterday) he got the 2K badge already. Maybe it could got to do with the abnormality reported earlier in Re: Community Point Gets Reduced.where I noted that a lot of likes dissapeared around April 4th.

Hi,

One of the keys to gamification is having clear rules. Here I don't really see what I need to do to get to the higher rank.

Kind regards

Tomasz

Hi @tomasz_tru

Rules are simple: Provide best answers and working solutions for other community members, share your knowledge. Look at @sunny_talwar - That is all what he does and it works for him 🙂

cheers

btw - this is obviously me trying to be smartass

Melissa_Potvin · ‎2020-05-14

@tomasz_tru - hi Tomasz hope you are doing well and thanks for your feedback. While we don't publish the exact algorithm used behind the scenes I will add a few slides to the PPT deck to make this more clear. When I have that updated I will let you know and then you can tell me if this helpful or not. Have a great day!

Melissa_Potvin · ‎2020-05-14

@Lech_Miszkiewicz LOL that was funny 🤣🤣 and by the way you are right about @sunny_talwar . He is 'the best!'
