There are various ways members can earn and receive contributions and the points associated with them in the community.
Preset contributions
The system can automatically assign contributions to preset actions taken by members in the community that involves no action from you as the admin. If you want to edit or change which contributions log in the community, reference the Contributions tab in the dashboard.
Any contribution-related actions taken in the event or content dashboard after it is published, such as adding a new speaker, removing a speaker, or linking a new user to a speaker will not automatically update badge counts. These changes must be made manually.
Manually Add Contributions
You can log a contribution to a contributor's account (one by one) from the dashboard.
Navigate to the Contributors menu and to the Contribution Logs tab
Select the +Log Contribution button in the upper right
Select the contributor you'd like to assign a new contribution
Select the contribution, the date and time of the contribution, and how many times the user earned it
You can add notes if needed to this entry, and be sure to hit 'Add' to save your work
The contributor will immediately see this contribution logged, and any points associated with it in their account.
Bulk Import Contributions
You can update a bulk list of contributors from the dashboard if you have several contributions to assign and log.
Navigate to the Contributors menu and to the Contribution Logs tab
Select the +Import Member Contribution button in the upper right
We recommend downloading the CSV template before proceeding to ensure your data is received by the system
This CSV template includes all available types of contributions in your community.
To record contributions, input an integer of 1 or higher under each type to show how many times a member contributed.
Leave the fields blank for types with no contributions to import.
You will verify the mapping of column headers and example fields to the right fields, and the system will do a preliminary check of the data
Once complete, the system will email confirmation and any errors to the email inbox of the admin user
Once it is successfully uploaded, the contributors will immediately see this contribution logged, and any points associated with it in their accounts.
Retracting Contributions
As the admin, you can retract or withdraw contributions or points from a member's profile and account.
Note: The system will automatically withdraw contributions and points in these scenarios:
Registration was canceled for the event
The forum post is deleted
The forum comment/reply is deleted
Exited the club
Any contribution-related actions taken in the event or content dashboard after it is published, such as adding a new speaker, removing a speaker, or linking a new user to a speaker will not automatically update badge counts. These changes must be made manually
Withdraw contribution entirely

Navigate to the contribution in question, and select the edit button
Select Withdraw and enter the reasoning (if you'd like) in the Notes column

Once it is successfully withdrawn, the contribution, badge and point value will immediately be removed from the contributor's account/profile.
Adjust points

Add or retract points from their account from the 'Adjustment' field
Points cannot drop to below zero
Once points are adjusted, the contributor will see the adjustment in their account immediately.
