Subjects

A Project is composed of Subjects which are made of Skills and a single skill defines a training unit within the gamification framework. Subjects are a way to group and organize skill definitions within a gameified training profile.

Subjects offer the following features:

• Skills - create and manage Skill definitions.
• Levels Model - Subject specific level model definition so users are awarded subject level achievements.
• Icons - assign subject specific icon based on fontawesome or material icon sets or use a custom icon.
• Stats - Subject specific charts and graph and user stats.

To create a Subject navigate to Project -> Subjects and then click the Subject + button.

Best practices

• Do your best to create subjects in multiples of 3. On a larger screen, the Skills Display renders up-to 3 subjects per row so 3, 6, 9, 12, etc., will look the best.
• Use the same icon style/set for all subjects. We support font awesome, material and custom icons
• Strive for each subject to have a similar number of points. The Project -> Subjects page shows subject cards and each card exposes the Points % which reflects the subject's percentage of the total available Project points.
