This article will help you understand how to use the Boost feature on the recognition feed in JobPts. It explains how to send additional appreciation to a colleague who has already been recognized, including selecting a program, adding a message, and optionally awarding pointsโmaking it easier to amplify meaningful recognition within your organization.
To access this feature in the application, the Boost Feature checkbox must first be enabled in the system settings in the admin center. Additionally, you can specify which types of recognitions it will apply to (all, monetary, or non-monetary).

To use the Boost functionality, start by logging into the JobPts homepage and selecting the recognition post youโd like to boost.

A new pop-up window will appear, allowing you to select the appropriate program for sending a recognition. Only the programs you are eligible to participate in will be displayed in the dropdown menu.
Depending on the program you select, you can choose the award reason (if defined in the program) and for monetary programs, you can specify the amount of points to send to the selected user.

If the program is set to be send with an SMS notification and the end recipient doesn't have a phone number set in the system, you will be also prompted to enter the phone number for the user.
