      Publish a challenge as-is

      The quickest way to publish a challenge is to simply copy the template. To do so you have two options:

      Option A: From the Challenge Templates list

      1. In the left sidebar menu, click Your Employees' Challenges.
      2. Click the Add challenge button and select the template of your preference.

        your-employees-challenges-add
      3. Click the Publish button.

        your-employees-add-publish
      4. Add the required setup information in the pop-up window:
        1. Range: The date range that the challenge will run
        2. Max team size (in case of a team challenge): The maximum number of members within each team. 
        3. Number of winners: The number of participants that will win the award once they have achieved the challenge target.
        4. Discussion board: The URL of a channel in your Slack workspace that will be dedicated to communication regarding the challenge and also serve as a discussion board among participants.
          your-employees-add-publish-modal
      5. Click Publish.

      Please note:

      • Range: The challenge cannot start earlier than tomorrow.
        • For each challenge, we suggest a duration that we believe will allow the participants enough time to reach the target while also giving them the motivation to constantly do more.
        • In case of challenges that have a number-of-days target (i.e. Longer Streak or Stick to It) the duration should always be greater than the target.
      • Max team size: The maximum number of team members should be calculated to have at least 10 teams within your organization. So for 100 employees, the max team size should be up to 10.
      • Number of winners: We suggest up to 5% of employees' headcount.
      • You need to follow the same process even if you want to publish a challenge that you have published before.

      Option B: From the template details page

      1. In the left sidebar menu, click Your Employees' Challenges.
      2. Click the Add challenge button.
