A Spark is a way to automatically grant a badge to someone based on a particular criteria. In other words, you can apply a badge to a user's profile automatically when the user meets any one of the following criteria:
- Completes a specific Module
- Reaches a certain number of Points
- Attends a particular Event
- Reaches a certain number of User Contributions
- Has logged in a certain number of times
Notes
- A single Certification can only be granted to a user a single time. Sparks work on the principle, "If X or Y or Z occurs then apply this Certification."
- If you plan on using the same Certificate for a new version of a Module it is recommended creating a new Certificate with the same Title and add the year for example. This will make it easier to track.
- By default, Sparks are not retroactively applied. In other words, if a user completes a module, and later you add a Spark that triggers upon a user completing that module, this user will not be awarded this Spark. To ensure the users with previously met criteria are awarded, there is a retroactive checkbox that must be selected as seen below.
