Getting everyone to log time every day is hard, and reminders only go so far. User Achievements rewards good habits instead: people earn badges and points for things like entering time daily and submitting before the deadline.

How It Works
- People earn badges and points for habits like entering time on time, logging time every day of the week, and submitting before deadlines.
- Points can be exchanged for rewards, such as gift cards through Tango.
- A leaderboard shows top performers, for individuals and teams.
- Each person can see their own progress.
Turning It On
- Click Admin > User Achievements. The label follows your firm's terms, so it may say Worker Achievements. See Renaming Clients, Projects, and Other Terms (Term Settings).
- Turn the feature on.
- Choose which achievements are active and how many points each one earns.
- Save.
You can choose who's told when someone earns a badge or redeems a reward, and get a warning when your Tango balance runs low. These are on the User Achievements tab of the firm notifications. See Configuring Firm Notifications.
When It Helps
- Late timesheets: if Friday reminders aren't working, a daily nudge from points and badges often does.
- Large teams: a leaderboard adds some friendly competition.
- New hires: helps build the habit from day one.
It's optional, and you can turn it off at any time if it doesn't suit your team.
