Step 1 - Competition Type

In the competition creation wizard, click on Points

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.

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.

Repeat the process until you have all the custom teams you need.

Step 4 - Settings

In the fourth step of the wizard, you'll define key settings of the competition - i.e. name, due date, when the winner is declared etc.

The following are short descriptions of the different settings.

Title

Set the title of the competition. In the example above, the name is set to "Target race!".
The Title field helps to identify the competition slide that can be placed in playlists, which are displayed on TV-screens.

Description (Optional)

This field is handy when wanting to provide the competition with a short description.
The Description field helps to identify the competition slide that can be placed in playlists, which are displayed on TV-screens.

Period

Set the start date and end date of the competition. All relevant reports made by users after the Start Date and before the End Date, will count in the competition.

Winner is Declared When

Select the function of which SalesScreen will choose the winner(s) of the competition.
If Goal is reached is chosen, the competition will only define the participant(s), that actually reached the budget/quota before the competition's end date, as winners.
If Time is over is chosen, the competition will define the participant(s), who are leading at the moment when the competition ends, as winners.

Privacy Setting

Select the privacy level of what is going to be displayed on the competition slide.
If Show value only is selected, only the participant's values (amount or quantity) is displayed.
If Show progression only is selected, only the participant's budget progression percentage is displayed.
If Show everything is selected, both the value and the budget progression is displayed.

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. 

As seen at the top of the wizard, the Number of winners field decide how many participants can become winners of the competition.

For instance, if you choose to have two winners for the competition, the first place winner can get one prize and the second place winner can receive another. Or, they can both receive the same prize.

  • Name: Set the name of the prize. This field help to identify the prize later.

  • Description (Optional): Set the description of the prize. This field help to identify the prize later.

  • Image (Optional): You can upload a prize image.

  • Number of winners: You can set the number of winners you want to have in the competition 

Step 6 - Finish

In the last step of the wizard you can choose none or multiple playlists to publish the competition slide to. This shortcut exists so that you don't have to assign the competition slide to your different playlists
