Creating & Managing Milestone Badges

Milestones are a great way to incentivize attendees to collect pledges, build out their teams, and further engagement. Creating a milestone requires a threshold. For example, if an event was a read-a-thon where attendees pledged to students for every book read, then a great threshold would be 10 pledges or 15 books. Once an attendee meets this threshold, they would receive the badge on their peer page. If there was an affiliated reward, they would also be eligible to receive this as well. You are able to add up to 6 custom milestones.

Creating Milestones

1. After logging in and opening your newly created peer-to-peer event site, navigate to the 'Settings' tab. 

2. Next, scroll down to the "Custom Milestones," pictured below. 

3. Click the blue "Add New Milestone+" button.

4. Next, enter a title for the newly added milestone. Since this is a read-a-thon example event site, we will title this "Book Worm." 

5. After doing so, enter a threshold that attendees will need to meet in order to receive the milestone. After entering in a numerical threshold, you will need to select the associated units. For this example, the threshold will be set to 10 and the units will be books. Therefore, if a student/peer is able to read 10 books, they will receive the "Book Worm" milestone badge. 

6. Next, enter a description. This will appear on the event site landing page when an attendee clicks into an available milestone. 

7. Next, we will need to search for an icon to show on the badge. For this example, we will search "Book Worm." After clicking "Search," you can horizontally scroll through the available icons. If you do not see one that interests you, you are able to search again using new keywords. 

8. After selecting your icon, you will see it appear in the "Badge Preview" section to the right, pictured below. 

9. Next, if you would like, choose from one of the 8 available colors, pictured below.

10. Next, scroll down and locate the reward section, pictured below. This section is optional and meant for events that are looking to offer incentives for those who reach milestones. Rewards can have one affiliated photo as well as a title.

11. Next, click "Save and Close." 

Previewing And Managing Your Milestone From The Manager Portal 

1. After creating and saving a milestone, you will be able to preview and edit this milestone from the 'Settings' tab in the manager portal.

2. To preview an existing milestone, click the blue "Preview" button below, shown below. 

3. To edit or delete your milestone, click the ellipsis (three dots within the circle) to the right of the milestone. 

Viewing Newly Created Milestones from the Event Site

1. Once you have created a "Custom Milestone," you can view it by navigating to the event site. To navigate to the event site, click the white "View Event Site" button, pictured below. 

2. After doing so, you will see your event site. Scroll past your event details section in order to view milestones, pictured below.
