Post a Challenge

This tutorial guides you through creating and configuring a challenge in the Ideawake platform. Note* These settings can be changed after challenge creation at anytime.

Click the "Create +" button to begin setting up a new challenge in Ideawake.

Select "New Challenges" from the drop-down menu.

Select the audience who can participate. Only 'participants' who are targeted will be able to see this challenge from the community home page. By default, all community members will have access to participate in your challenge. You can limit participation by searching and limiting access to specific users and groups under the 'Participants' section.

Click the "Next" button when your audience is all set. This can be changed after the challenge is created.

Next we will begin to add the challenge details. Enter the title for the challenge in the provided text field.

Now, Add the challenge description

When you are all set, click next.

Here you will see the submission form as well as voting and collaboration settings. We have several different configuration options (what we suggest for best practice are preselected by default). These fields will also show up right under the idea description and can be in the form of short form text, long form text, single select, multi-select (tags), files, images, whatever you’d like. Update the form and desired settings. If you have any questions, please reach out to your customer success rep.

You can also update the settings to allow users to post or comment anonymously.

Select visibility settings. This is important if you want users to see other submissions or if you want all submissions to be private.

Here you can add prizes but it is not required. You can skip and add prizes at a later time.

Click the "Next" button to continue building the challenge

Workflows allow you to define rules for how ideas are collected, evaluated and implemented in your organization. See more here.

You can skip this step and come back to it. When ready, Click the "Post Challenge" button to publish the challenge and make it available to participants.

You will now land on your new challenge home page.

You have successfully created and configured a challenge in Ideawake, including participant selection, settings customization, workflow setup, and posting the challenge.
