Badges

Badges are ways to reward a person for completing a specific mission or quest, or for showing appreciation from other users. Badges also provide a persistent notation on the person’s profile of their accomplishments. Badges are earned automatically when a new points level is achieved or a mission or quest is completed in your community or an external system. In addition, users can give other users badges.

You can use the built-in badges provided in Jive Rewards, or you can upload new images for the badges that are tailored to your community objectives.
