Why new forms?

The new create forms are a result of the Metric 2.0 release, which introduces combined formulas and formatting for metrics, simplifying their use across other platform elements. To accommodate this change, the create forms have been updated. Additionally, we've enhanced the functionality, offering a cleaner and more user-friendly experience. Admins can now benefit from real-time previews, making understanding what they are creating easier.

With the release of the new metrics, which now incorporate formulas and improved formatting, we’ve also streamlined multiple competition types into a single, unified competition builder. No functionality has been lost—instead, you now have enhanced access to more features, allowing you to customize and design competitions for the best possible outcomes.

*We have deprecated ‘Average Activity Progression.’*

Rather than selecting categories like 'Top Performers' to determine who competitions are appropriate for, each competition now has tags that can be viewed on the 'Browse' page. This allows all competitions to be seen on a single page, reducing the need for filtering. If a user can’t see these tags, it is because of their screen resolution size. We suggest zooming out and refreshing the form.

Now, when creating Custom Teams, you first select your participants and then organize the teams. We’ve introduced a new method for organizing teams, where you can choose to either specify the number of users per team or the total number of teams. We also offer options to randomize team names and images, as well as randomly assign users to teams. This streamlines the process for admins and helps eliminate bias in team assignments.

When setting goals, all users are automatically selected by default (indicated by blue checkboxes). If you accidentally deselect them, you can quickly reselect everyone by clicking the checkbox at the top of the far-right column. This allows you to either deselect all (checkboxes turn white) or select all (checkboxes turn blue). Alternatively, you can manually choose individual users by clicking on their respective checkboxes to turn them blue.

After selecting at least one user, the 'Edit Selected' button at the top of the Goal column becomes active. Clicking this button allows you to manually input a goal value for the selected users or choose 'Use Predefined Targets,' which will automatically pull in the targets set for those users, adjusted for the competition period.

If a user doesn't have a target set, their 'goal' field will remain outlined in red, indicating that a manual goal still needs to be assigned. It's helpful to check the number at the bottom of the pop-up, which shows how many users still need goals to be set before you can proceed.

For competitions only, we are still yet to implement the real-time adjustments to the users selected and the goals set. We hope to have this released in 2025.
