Shared Goals

Within the Shared Goal section you can define the ranking type. Additionally, you can also choose to convert the shared goal into a challenge.

Choosing a Ranking Type

A more competitive ranking style calculates the performance based on a broader range of past periods. Hence, members need to perform more consistently for a longer period of time to stay at the top of the ranking.

These are the available ranking types for shared goals:

Relaxed

Rankings are based on the most recent achievements, and it takes less time to recover from failed targets.

Normal

Rankings are based on a broader rage of past achievements, and it takes a bit more time to recover from failed targets.

Competitive

Rankings are based on the average achievement over an extended period of time, and it takes more time to recover from failed targets.

All-time

Rankings are based on the overall achievements for the full duration of the challenge.

Present-only

Rankings are based on the achievements of the current period only.

Unranked

Members are not ranked by their achievements and everyone is assigned first place.

Goal Setup

You can only change some properties of an already existing shared goal:

  • Name
  • Description
  • Unit

Goal Target
