Must know
  • Set up by your office. Office staff set up achievements and badges under Settings > Training. An achievement is awarded automatically once all its conditions are met, and it can also grant levels and badges.
  • Achievements wait to be published. A new achievement stays Awaiting publish, hidden from the family, until someone with the Publish Achievements permission publishes it (unless it’s set to publish automatically). Badges show straight away.
  • Retry doesn’t count. A Retry never counts toward an automatic award, but an achievement or badge you add by hand is awarded whatever the mark.
  • Training plan. Available on plans that include Training. If you don’t see it, ask your club’s office: Training comes with the club’s plan.
Two separate things. An achievement is a rule your office builds under Settings > Training > Achievements: conditions, plus what earning it grants. It can grant levels, mark levels complete and award badges, in that order. Badges are set up under Settings > Training > Badges, and an athlete gets one from an achievement or straight from a person. Earned automatically. Conditions can cover gender, age, a membership, a pass, a signed waiver, medical information, holding a level or another achievement, and a completed evaluation. Every condition must hold at once. When Uplifter checks. It checks when an evaluation is saved, a membership or pass is bought, a waiver is signed, medical information is saved, a level is granted or another achievement is published. An age condition is checked on its own, so an award can arrive later than an evaluation, or without one. A paused achievement, or one with no conditions, is only ever awarded by hand. Where evaluations fit. An evaluation counts only toward a Completed evaluation condition for its own report card template. The overall mark must be Pass, Excellent or Satisfactory, and the template’s completion requirements must be met over its required skills (or every skill, if none is marked required). An earlier evaluation on that template counts too, published or not. A custom evaluation with no template never counts. Awarding by hand. With Record Evaluations, an athlete’s profile has Award achievement and Award badge buttons in its Achievements section. While you score, each athlete also has Add achievement or badge; what you add there is awarded when the evaluation is saved. See How do I award an achievement or badge to an athlete? When the family sees it. A new achievement award is Awaiting publish, hidden from the family, until someone with Publish Achievements publishes it, unless the achievement publishes automatically. That includes ones you add while scoring. Until it’s published, it doesn’t satisfy another achievement that asks for it. The default Coach role can’t publish, so ask your office who does. Badges and notifications. Badges have no publish step and show straight away, even one from an achievement still awaiting publish. The profile’s Achievements section lists every award, including unpublished ones. No notification is sent. Earned once, and a revoke sticks. Each achievement and badge is held once, so awarding it again or editing an evaluation never doubles it. Office staff can revoke an achievement from the admin dashboard (How do I award, publish, or revoke an athlete’s achievement?); the coach portal has no revoke. The athlete keeps any levels and badges it granted, and it’s never awarded automatically again, only by hand.
