Missions for repeating action x times per week and month?

ted.hopton Feb 27, 2013 3:01 PM

I understand how to create a mission that counts as completed after someone has taken an action x times in the time period specified (given a start date and end date). But what I would like to do is reward consistent, sustained types of behavior on a regular basis. For example, I want people to earn a bonus amount of points when they log in 6 times in a week or 20 times in a month.

Is there a way to set simple parameters such as Week or Month (30 days would be close enough) in missions? The logic would look like this:

Specific action or actions
All must be completed
Within a 7-day period or 30-day period

These would be simple rolling time periods. For week, Monday - Sunday. For month, we could keep it simple and make them rolling 30-day periods and not worry about how it would get out of sync with actual calendar months.

It is impractical to set up multiple missions with specific date ranges over and over again, so if there is a way to do this with rolling date ranges I'd love to know. And if there isn't, it would be great to add this capability.

So decay of some sort?
Or a full on reset?

Decay = the question you answered yesterday can still count towards the mission for the next 30 days, but the answered question from 31 days go does not count.
Reset = doesn't matter what you did yesterday, at the end of this month you are back to 0.

  Hmm, concept of decay is interesting. It has appeal, but it sure seems to add complexity -- both for the programmer and the user trying to understand when she gets points. I would lean toward simplicity, at least at first.

    I will reach out to Bunchball and see what they think / if they have something like this that I am unaware of.

      Ted Hopton - unfortunately, this isn't possible right now, but we are looking to add this to JGM/Nitro in an upcoming release.
      
      We do have a Time Window rule, which allows you to tell users to do something a specific # of times in a day/hour range, but this rule type cannot be used in a repeatable challenge at the moment.

        Hello all,
        
        Mike O, Damien Desseignet
        
        Has this been added to Bunchball gamification? We want to set a mission that is repeatable but can be earned only once a month. Jez Martin, any idea how to achieve this?
        
        Thank you,
        Kristina

        I'm not seeing the Time Window rule. Where should I see that?
