Levels and level ranges

Points accumulated by community users can help them achieve different reputation levels.

The system is pre-configured with levels where community users can earn points and achieve expertise or a reputation:

• Global: overall points accumulated across the entire community
• Forum: points accumulated in forums associated with the activity
• Topic: points accumulated in topics associated with the activity

Gamification administrators can configure level ranges within each level. These level ranges progress from a starting point value to a higher value (point ranges do not overlap) and have unique, configurable names. For example, in the Global level, a user that has earned 100–499 points is a Newbie while a user that has earned 500–999 points is an Enthusiast.

In the community portal, users can see the level range names and point totals in the gamification user interface components.

• On the leaderboard page and leaderboard widgets
• At the top of a user's profile below the user name and title
• On the user profile page in the Achievements tab
• On content pages
