[UPDATED] Community Reward Program 🏆

Arsineh

Hello Smartsheet Community,

We value the way you support and encourage one another and want to recognize your efforts with our Community Reward Program. As you engage with the Community you'll level up and unlock rewards including swag, and access to previews and beta features. 

Curious? Read on to learn more about our complete reward offerings!

Points, Badges & Ranks

1. Earn Points 

• A point value is assigned to each badge you earn
• Earn points based on your activity: provide an answer to a question; engage with others by tagging them in a post; have your answer selected as a helpful solution and more!
• Find a complete list of how points are allocated here.

2. Earn Badges

• Review all available badges - some are only available for a limited time so check back often!
• Earn Badges by making positive contributions, joining groups, engaging on the Community platform, becoming certified or being a power user of the Smartsheet product.

Note: Many badges will be automatically assigned to you once you complete an action or set of actions, but you can also request a badge following these instructions:

1. Make sure you're logged into the Community
2. Click on the Badge that appears within another Community Member's profile or on the Badge Dashboard.
3. On the Badge page, click the Request This Badge button 
4. In the window that appears, type a note to our team and click Send Request

3. Level Up Your Rank

• Level up within the Community to unlock rewards by being an active participant and by collecting badges and points for key milestones.
• Your Rank will display on your profile next to your name whenever you post or comment.

Rewards

As you level up you get access to private groups, surprise swag and access to exclusive invitations and new beta features and functionality. Additionally, you can get considered for the Community Champion program.

Recognition

You'll have opportunities for being highlighted on our Weekly and Monthly Leaderboards. 

We also feature a Member Spotlight each month showcasing a member of the Community. Do you know someone in the Community who should be next month's Member Spotlight? Nominate them here.

We want to hear from you, please drop a comment below or create a post in the Community Platform Feedback topic so other members can vote on your request.

@Arsineh I am unable to access the dashboard through the link. Do we need to request access, or is that something that is being rolled out to all users over time?

Hi @Paul Newcome! Apologies for the confusion. Dashboard is published live now. Please let us know if you have anymore questions.

Cheers,

Maxwell

Paul Newcome

@Maxwell Griffith Thank you!

I'm looking forward to this. It's been a crazy couple of months so I haven't been able to plug in as much, but I'm hoping to get more involved now that my project is wrapping up. This dashboard and ranking gives something to strive towards, so that's a plus from my book! 👏🎉

Arsineh

Thanks for jumping in @Max Griffith and glad to hear you have access now @Paul Newcome. Look forward to hearing what you think.

Glad to hear you're a fan of the new ranks and badges dashboard. Excited to see more of you on Community. Always enjoy your contribution @Aaron Manley

Paul Newcome

@Arsineh It looks great! I know that @Deanna Vandermeer is going to want a link on there that goes to the comprehensive list though so she can collect the new ones as they come out. Hahaha.

Arsineh

The badge dashboard is our comprehensive list of all active badges. Any old links to all badges will direct you to the dashboard. We do have a number of badges in the works which we'll be adding to the dashboard as soon as they're available. If you have any ideas for badges that you'd like to see -- reach out anytime, we'd love to hear it! @Paul Newcome @Deanna Vandermeer

Deanna Vandermeer

Thank you @Arsineh ... @Paul Newcome's absolutely right, I can't wait to start adding to my collection and if I have any badge ideas I will be sure to reach out. 😀

Paul Newcome

@Deanna Vandermeer You going to submit the idea for a "Badge Collector" badge? Hahaha

@Arsineh I think someone mentioned last week about a "Biggest Complainer" badge (or something like that) for those that have submitted a certain number of enhancement requests. 🤣

Genevieve P.

Haha! @Paul Newcome I prefer the term "Innovator" for that type of recognition 😂

Paul Newcome

@Genevieve P. That's definitely much classier. I say we go with that one. 🤣

Andrée Starå

We should have a "Spam Oliberator" or "Spam Protector" badge. 🤣

@Arsineh , I'm inferring that “rank” refers to the stars (Observer >> Ambassador), but that's not actually stated clearly in your post. Could you make that more explicit? Or else correct me if I'm misunderstanding? And is looking at a previous submitted post the only place to see my own rank? Could it be made visible more readily, such as by placing it above the Badges section on the Edit Profile page?

Also, where will one find the point thresholds to “level up”?

Finally, who do I follow up with about badges: A) missing (2022 Core Cert; Process Power I earned on site at Engage '22; Fully Charged); B) ideas (could "2021" be added to the ALL IN badge so its sequence among the Engage years could be discernable; should there be one for having been a speaker for an Engage session, and if so, considering the rather significant effort and reach involved, might it warrant 250 or more points)?

Thanks!

Hi @Cleversheet This is great feedback and I appreciate you taking the time to post. The stars do reflect your rank and are tied to each level Observer, Ambassador, etc. Your rank can be found next to your name when you engage on the platform but also on your profile page.

We are working to have ranks added to our badge dashboard and you should see this added shortly. We'll be adding point and engagement thresholds to this announcement post shortly to make the path to leveling up more clear.

Lastly, regarding badges do you remembers which Process Power you got after taking the quiz? If you visit the related badge page and click 'request' I'll be sure you receive it. Similarly, please do the same with the Fully Charged badge, if you haven't already done so.

I like your idea for an Engage Speaker badge and we'll work with our design team to get this developed and added to the badge dashboard. Always eager to hear of any additional badge ideas you have and encourage you to share.

The 2021 ENGAGE All In badge has the year in the badge description but not on the badge itself. Though we're unable to make edits to an existing badge - I'm share your feedback on incorporating the year in all future Engage badge designs.
