Configuring status levels
Jive records all the activities that community members perform in Jive and assigns badges based on point values and levels. Community members can see these standings and levels gained reported in Inbox and on the user profile.
About status levels
People can accrue status by earning points as they create and respond to content in
Jive. Assigning
status levels this way is sometimes known as badging. Over time, people
develop a reputation for reliability and authority in their favorite areas. The more
people participate, the more information that is available for the community as a
whole. Where a person's name is displayed, the user interface displays a status icon
or badge, such as 
, corresponding to the number of points the person has accrued.
Tips for status level configuration
- Set the number of points per scenario based on the kinds of activity you want to reward. For example, if you want to provide a context in which questions are usually answered, award more points for correct and helpful question responses. For more information, see Adjusting status scenarios and points.
- Define status levels or badges that people should be enthusiastic about. You can use any theme that fits your community goals and update the status levels accordingly. For more information, see Adding status levels.
- Offer rewards or recognition for people who reach or maintain certain status levels.
