Mission Recommendation Engine
The mission recommendation engine has been updated to give a higher priority to missions that have an award point reward. In addition, missions that are starting or ending soon now factor in the number of days.
The weights given to various mission statuses will continue to evolve as we align the recommendation engine with our recommended program strategies.
Preview an Impact Theme
The theme builder has been updated to include a type selector where you can choose to preview your theme in the Recognitions or Impact block. The preview shows a generic block that does not include configuration elements such as leaderboards.
Now, as you edit a theme, you can ensure the styles look correct in both block types.
