By enabling Reputation in Ideas, and then choosing level names and thresholds, you let users earn points and ratings that reward and encourage frequent, meaningful activity in the community. As community members engage more frequently, they improve the overall quality of ideas, which means that everyone reaps the benefits of a vibrant, creative partnership with your customers.
Users are awarded points for many activities including:
- Creating an idea
- Receiving a comment on their idea
- Receiving an upvote on their idea or comment
- Commenting on someone else’s idea
Reputation points are calculated separately for each zone, and for the cumulative activity within the entire organization. Users who participate in different zones will have different reputation values for each zone based on their activity in that zone. When users are logged into the internal application, their reputation score is based on their participation in all zones to which they belong.
Ideas comes with the following pre-defined reputation levels that apply to all zones and to the internal application. Using the API, reputation levels and points for each level can be added or edited to reflect the levels of participation in your community.
| Name | Points per Level |
|---|---|
| Observer | 0 – 99 |
| Contributor | 100 – 399 |
| Influencer | 400 – 1499 |
| Thought Leader | 1500+ |
Reputation levels are available through the API and can be displayed in custom Ideas implementations. To add or edit reputation level names, points per level, or other attributes of a reputation in any of your zones, use the and IdeaReputationLevel objects in the API. You can create up to 25 different reputation levels for each zone.
