Step 1 - Competition Type
In the competition creation wizard, click on Gift Swap.
Step 2 - Layout
In the second step of the wizard, you'll be asked to pick a layout for the competition. A layout is the theme of the competition as it's displayed on the TV-monitors. For instance, if the Pirate layout is chosen, the competition will be visualized with a pirate theme, complete with a beach background and chests to open.
Proceed by clicking the rightmost arrow at the bottom of the wizard.
Step 3 - Participants
In the third step of the wizard, you'll choose the type of participants. You can decide if Teams should compete against one another, or Companies should, if the SalesScreen subscription consists of a multiple-company structure.
You can also even create Custom Teams that will only exist in the context of the competition. This is easier understood through an example; if John is on Team-A and Beatrice is on Team-B, you can set up a competition where John and Beatrice are placed on the same team (e.g., Team-Awesome). Team-Awesome will exist as long as the competition is running, where team members are working towards a commong goal set by the bounds of the competition.
If available, you can enable the Executive switch, which lets you pit users, across all companies in your multi-company structure, against each other. This feature also enables you to pit teams across all the companies against each other - or the companies themselves, against one another. Custom teams are also supported, where you can create teams for the competition - with members from across all the companies.

Gift minimum value
When a report fitting the competition requirements is added, you have the possibility to add a minimum value that report must have in order to let the participant open or swap a gift.

Steal and Swap probability (%)
Set the probability for a participant trying to steal or swap to be successful.
Gift open deadline (minutes)
Set in minutes how long SalesScreen will wait for a participant, whose turn it is to open, swap or steal a gift, to take action. After that number of minutes, the participant will loose its turn to the benefit of the next in line.
Step 5 - Prizes
In the fifth step of the wizard, you can define prize(s) that will be awarded the winner(s) of the competition. You can choose to have no prize at all or even multiple prizes.
