Edit Badges
You can create a new badge, edit an existing one or delete a badge that you do not need anymore.
Admins have the option to create badges by default. They have also the option to decide if training managers should be able to create badges. They also have the option to give this permission to specific managerial jobs (such as to unit managers).
In order to create a new Badge for your Group, select the Create Badge button at the top of the page.
Add a title for your badge, write a short description, upload an image and select a shape and/or icon for your badge.
Note:
- Admins have an extra option available in order to make a badge awardable only by specific jobs.
- The uploaded image should be 400x480 pixels.
Select the blue Save button at the bottom of the page to save your badge.
Notifications
You can configure your group notifications per group.
When you first access this page on a group level, the default options for all notifications will be exactly the ones that you have configured on an academy level. That means, that the notifications will continue to be sent per the Academy settings, for the group in question.
If nothing is configured for a specific email notification on the Group page, you will see the following message “Currently, this email notification is being sent out based on your academy’s general notification settings. Any change in the following settings will only be applied for this specific group.”. This way you can distinguish which notifications are configured on a Group level for this Group and which are not.
Once a change is made to a notification on the group level, then any change made on the academy level for this notification will not be applied to the specific group. From that point, only the configuration options made on this notification on the group level will define how and if this notification will be sent for this group. In this case, you will see the following message "Currently, this email notification is being sent out based on the following settings, which are specific to this group.” which means that any changes made on the Academy level will not be applied for this notification on the Group level.
At the bottom of each notification, there is a button available, the “Restore to Academy Settings” button. By clicking this button the email notification will be restored to the settings configured on the academy level. This way you can restore the notification back to the academy level. Once you do this, any changes made on the Academy level will also be applied for this notification on the Group level.
