Manually awarding an Achievement to Players

Note: This feature is available to Project Owners and Project Administrators on the Admin Dashboard.

Manually awarding an Achievement lets you give a Player Achievement directly to selected Players, without requiring them to complete the Achievement rule. This is useful when you need to recognise Players manually, correct missed awards, or award an Achievement that is meant to be given by an administrator only.

You can manually award a Player Achievement in two ways:

• Via bulk selection (can be used to select 1 Player)
• Via Excel upload

To manually award an Achievement via bulk selection

1. Sign in to your Administrator account at https://gametize.com/signin. 
2. Select the Project where you want to manually award an Achievement. 
3. Go to Project Tools and select Achievement Manager.
4. Select the "Player Achievements tab".
5. Scroll or search for the Player Achievement you want to award.
6. Under Actions, select "Award Achievement to Players".
7. Click "Select from list".
8. Select the Players you want to award the Achievement to.
   • Search by Player name or email address. 
   • Check the checkbox beside each Player you want to select. 
   • To select all listed Players, use the select all checkbox.
   • You can use this method even if a Player does not have an email address, such as Players who created an account using Facebook login.
9. Click "Next".
10. Select the type of notification to send to the selected Players.
    • Email Notification 
    • Push Notification
11. Enter confirm to proceed.
12. Click "Confirm"

To manually award an Achievement via Excel upload

Note: Use Excel upload only when you have the Players’ email addresses.

1. Prepare your Excel file using the required format.

   • Column 1: Player email addresses

   • File format: Excel Workbook (.xlsx)

   • The Excel file uploaded should only have 1 sheet, and should not contain any hidden sheets.
   • Do not include column headers.
   • You may add as many rows as you want, while strictly following the same format given above.
   • Note that only Excel files with the .xlsx file extension will be accepted.
   • Strict Open XML Spreadsheet is not supported.
   • Do not rename the file extension from .xls to .xlsx. You should re-save the file instead.
2. Go to Project Tools and select “Achievement Manager”.
3. Select the "Player Achievements tab".
4. Scroll or search for the Player Achievement you want to award.
5. Under Actions, select "Award Achievement to Players".
6. Click "Upload Excel File".
7. Click "Select A File", then upload the Excel file from your local computer.
8. Select the type of notification to send to the selected Players.
   • Email Notification 
   • Push Notification
9. Click "Upload" to complete the award.

TIPS:

• If an Achievement should only be awarded manually by Project Admins, use the Achievement unlocking rule "Only the Project Administrator can unlock this". 
• If you want Players to unlock an Achievement automatically, set up Achievement rules when creating or editing the Player Achievement.
