Awarding badges to people

You can award other community members badges to recognize their contributions, and even give them some of your status points.

If your community manager has enabled Jive Rewards, you can celebrate and thank other community members by awarding them badges, and optionally some of the status points you've earned yourself. You can go to the person profile or mention them in the content editor to give a badge.

To hand out a badge and optional points from the user profile:

  1. Tap on the person's avatar to view his profile.
  2. Under the Recent Badges section, tap Give a Badge.
  3. From the list of badges that appear, tap to select the badge you wish to award to the person.
  4. In Optional message, type a brief thank-you message, or explain the reason for awarding the badge.
  5. (Optional) If you wish to award points along with the badge, use the points slider to set the number of points to award.
    Note: The chosen points will be removed from your community total and added to theirs.
  6. Tap Give Badge.

To hand out a badge and optional points from the content editor:

  1. When creating a new content item, type @ and tap Give a badge.
  2. From the list of badges that appear, tap to select the badge you wish to award to the person.
  3. Save and publish the content item.
