Level Mechanics

Level Mechanics are a gamification feature that rewards Users for writing valuable posts or comments in the Community. This increases engagement and makes the Community more active.

Community Members can advance through levels. Admins can configure these levels as they wish and add colors, names, and custom icons or images for levels.

There are several ways to earn points. Here is an overview of all the ways to collect points:

To edit a level, simply click the Edit button. This opens a pop-up where you can change the color, icon, etc.:

Here, you can configure both the level name and the level color displayed in the User's border.

You can also configure an icon or image for the level. This is then displayed in the small circle next to the User.

Each User can view their level progress on their account card on the right side of the feed.

When you click on your own account or another User's account, you can also view the current level progress there.
