The component Gamification enables you to create or edit one or more gamification elements for a Personal point or a Client point account (see first screenshot) and to assign this or these to the course activation. Thus each participant of the corresponding course activation receives points and they are available to these users on the page Successes as a display of bundled points of all gamification elements, just depending on the trigger type (Completion of course activation, Self-registration or External registration by team leader).
You can check the assignment of the gamification elements in the corresponding course activation in the User wizard of the corresponding user. Furthermore you can display points for each gamification element.
Additionally, you define in the gamification element, independent from the point account type, via the Mininum value on the tab Master data, until which value it’s allowed to book via the trigger type. It’s possible to define negative values, too.
On the Overview of the gamification elements you can edit display of columns and order via right clicking the table header.
The table got the following columns: Titel, Translation area, Preview, Type, Created, Change date, Owner and Deletion date.
You can sort the data in each column ascending or descending via clicking the title of the column, except the data in the columns Translation area and Preview.
Furthermore you filter the overview of the gamification elements by the following criteria: Title, ID, Point account type (No restrictions, Personal point account or Client point account), Language (Original language or selected language from list), Sub categories or Show deleted objects.
As the trigger option has been fulfilled, you see the corresponding points accounts under Gamification → Point accounts (see second screenshots). You can do Manual points transcations in the wizard Points transaction, this means you add these points not by using trigger types.

You can do that only in the corresponding gamification element.
