Badge is an award in the form of a badge designed to provide information on successful completion. The badge contains a title, a description and a picture that allows you to identify the task that has been completed.

To create a badge, in the Learning-Settings menu select Badges.

Here you can see a table with all the badges created earlier.

Table fields:

"Title" - displays the names of the badges and their image.
"Date of change"- the date when the badge was last modified (created or edited) is displayed.
"Published" - the publication status of the badge is displayed.
"Reset filter" - clears field values in filters.
"Add" - switch to the badge creation page.
"Edit" - button for badge editing.
"Remove" - button for badge deletion.

If you remove the badge from the list, it will be automatically removed from all users who received it for completing tasks earlier.

Badge creation

To create a badge, you need to fill in the fields:

"Title" - mandatory field, title of the badge.
"Description" - badge description.
"Upload file" - button to load a badge image.
"Cancel" - canceling the badge saving.
"Save" - badge saving.

How to get a Badge

You can get a Badge for:

1) Successful Task completion
2) Appointed by the Administrator manually.

Receiving a Badge after successful Task completion

For successful completion of learning Tasks, Collaborator users can get awards in the format of badges.
All badges received by the user are collected in their profile, thus highlighting their learning achievements.

You can attach the badge to the task on the page of creating/editing the task.

After selecting a badge from the drop-down list, its image will be displayed nearby.

If a badge has been added to a task, it will be displayed in the "About task" block. Until the task is successfully completed, it will be displayed in black and white, by clicking on the icon you can enlarge the badge:

After successful completion and receipt of the badge, it is displayed in color:

In addition, after successful completion of the task, the reward is displayed in the result block:

If, after the User has completed the Task and received a Badge for it, the assignment is removed, the Badge will still remain in the list of Badges of this User.

Badge assignment by the Administrator manually

There are cases when it is necessary to reward an employee not only for learning activities on the portal, but also for other achievements. For example, for participation in a corporative event or conference, for excellent work achievements etc. The Administrator can manually assign a Badge to a User.

Assigning Badges to Users works similar to Task assignment.
To assign a Badge manually in the Badges table press the Assign button next to the desired Badge.

In the User assigning table select User. For convenience, you can use filters.

Assigning badges from a .csv file

It is also possible to assign a badge to users with a list from a csv file.

To do this you need to create a csv-file (or upload from the HR system a list in the format described below):

In Excel, create a table with user data (email, first name, second name), as shown in the example below:

The first line should contain column names (email, firstname, secondname - necessarily as in the example and in the same order (case does not matter)), it is ignored when assigned. The user data should be entered from the second line.

When the list of users is ready, save the file in csv format and UTF-8 encoding:

The file is ready. Now you can assign badges to users. By pressing the button "Assign as a list from a file" we select the created csv file. When the file is loaded, the system checks the data from the file and the data of existing users, if the parameters match - the badge is assigned. If not, such users are ignored.

After that, the badge will automatically appear in selected users profiles.

When assigning a badge, the program also checks the users who have already been assigned, and if there are users in the list who have already been assigned a badge, the notification about assigning the badge is not sent to them. The modal window displays the number of ignored users with a message that they have already been assigned the badge.

If you remove the Badge that was previously assigned to the user manually - the Badge will disapper from the list of this User's Badges.

Viewing badges

Viewing badges is available in the user's profile in the Badges block. When you go to the user's profile, the last 5 badges are displayed.

If the user has more than 5 badges, an icon appears with the number of badges the user has in addition. To go to the list of all the received badges, you need to click "See all" button.
On the Badges page, all the badges that were received by the user are displayed as a tile. Along with the image of the badge, its name, the name of the task for which the badge was received and the date of receipt of the badge are also displayed.

In addition, badges can be seen in the contacts.

The user can view his badges on the "My badges" page in the "Learning" - "My badges" menu.

If the user does not have any badges, the following message is displayed on the Badges page:
