Product Enhancements

Limited Rewards BETA Release

Our limited rewards feature is now available for beta testing! This feature allows you to set a limit on an individual mission reward. You can set the reward to expire after a set number of days or points. Once the reward limit is reached, users can still complete the mission but they will not earn that reward.

The Missions web component will show users that a reward is in limited supply and when that reward is out of stock. By default, any reward limited by number of points will immediately display in the web component while rewards limited by time will display when the expiration date is 7 days from the current date. Rewards will show in the top section of the web component in the following order 1) limited award points, 2) limited non-award points, 3) unlimited award points, then 4) unlimited non-award points. All rewards will show in the Rewards you can earn section.

This feature provides more strategic options for your program without adding additional administration. Contact Bunchball Support if you're interested in beta testing our limited rewards feature.

Missions Web Component with Limited Rewards

Actions BETA Release

Our Actions update is now available for beta testing! This feature includes the following enhancements:

The Actions view was redesigned to align with the styling of the Missions and Groups views.
Actions can be designated as "passive". This designation allows you to flag actions that are sent to Nitro as additional data when the user isn't actively doing that action within the program. An example of this may be previous course completions or certifications that aren't part of your current program strategy.

Actions now include labels. You can use labels to organize and filter actions in the Actions view. Any existing action folders will be converted to labels and associated with the actions that were previously located within the folder.

Actions View

New Action Modal with Passive Action Option

Challenges Renamed to Missions

In Nitro Studio, "Challenge(s)" have been renamed to "Mission(s)". This change was made so that our terminology is consistent for users and administrators. Missions terminology is used throughout Nitro Studio within views, modals, descriptive text, and URLs. We did not change this terminology in our APIs, analytics, or tokens.

Mission Managment View

New Default Setting for Connecting Multiple Rules

When adding rules to a mission, the default rule connector has been changed to "Must complete ALL of the following". Previously, the default setting was OR (any) instead of AND (all).

Mission Builder Rules Tab

Edit Point Balance Redesign

The Edit Point Balance modal now has bill code information on the main page instead of a separate tab. This redesign provides a better user experience for transactions that require a bill code override.

Edit Point Balance Modal

Audit Log Update for Bill Codes

When an administrator manually credits or debits a user's point balance and adds bill codes to the transaction, those bill codes now show in the Audit Log.

Admin Audit Log

Point Limited Missions Conversion

Missions that are limited to a total "Number of Points" will be converted to "Number of Missions" when that mission is opened in the Mission Builder. This conversion results in the same number of available completions. For example, a mission that awards 5 points and is limited to 50 points will convert to limited to 10 completions.

The option to limit the total number of completions by points has been removed. You can limit a mission to a specific number of points by determining how many missions would be completed to reach that point amount and use that number in the Limited by Missions field.

Mission Limit Conversion Message Mission Total Completions Limits

Users View Missions Tab

The Missions tab in the Users view has the following updates:

The Rewards column in the Eligible Missions section now shows only the rewards currently available when that mission is completed.
The Rewards column was removed from the Completed Missions section as that information is available in the Activity section on the Balances tab.
