      Recognition Experience Updates

      Contribute to a more user-friendly and customizable recognition experience

      📢 What’s New

      1. Flexible Rewards: Introducing Swag Programs
      We're introducing a game-changing feature to our R&R system. Previously, programs were categorized as either monetary or non-monetary, with monetary programs exclusively sending points to recipients.
      Now, with the ability to configure programs as either points-based or item-based, the possibilities are limitless. Administrators can choose to create item-based programs and even select the specific company-branded items available for senders to choose from. This empowers users on our platform to send meaningful company-branded items as rewards, departing from the traditional points-based approach.

      With this newfound flexibility, your rewards programs can be tailored to your unique needs, offering a more personalized and engaging experience for both administrators and users.

      🔧 Improved Capabilities

      1. Introducing Custom Date Ranges for P2P Programs

      Check the box and use the range date picker to select 'Date from' and 'Date to.' This ensures your program is active only within the defined period. Programs with defined custom date ranges will only be visible within the specified period. Once the period ends, the program will no longer be accessible via URL or appear in the boost or Manage Points lists.

      Additionally, we've added a 'Status' column to the programs list, allowing you to easily identify program types:

      • Scheduled Program: Recognition programs with custom date ranges.
      • Continuous Program: Recognition programs with continuous visibility.
      • Hidden Program: Recognition programs with hidden visibility from the Application.

      2. Streamlining User Selection in both, Campaigns and Nomination Programs

      We're enhancing the logic behind user selection in Campaigns and in Nomination programs to align with the dynamic approach used in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) programs. This means users will now be dynamically pulled, making the selection process more efficient and user-friendly. The same unified view for selecting the participants will now include company structure with additional filters for a comprehensive and seamless experience.

      3. Additional User Roles: Nominators as Managers and Nominees as Direct Reports
      Ability for the admins to designate Nominators as Managers within the nomination program. This means that in specific scenarios, program recipients can now be considered direct reports to these designated Managers.

      This feature aligns with the existing functionality in our peer-to-peer program and maintain consistency in user management across both program types.
