Using the Gamify ribbon for SharePoint users can see at a glance how many points they have, their rank compared to others with similar characteristics, their group's rank compared to others, and what next steps they need to take to boost their score, without leaving the SharePoint portal. For more details about how to configure the Gamify ribbon for SharePoint, see the Gamify configuration guide.
Gamify ribbon for SharePoint
End-User Scoring
Users are rewarded with points for increased usage.
When users logs in to the SharePoint portal they can see how many points they have, their current level, and how far away they are from reaching the next level.
User Score
The user score is the sum of points for each action the user performed in the portal. You can configure the score calculation and set the points for each type of user activity in the Gamify Configuration page.
User Level
The user level is automatically calculated by the scores of all users participating in the current game round.
Level 1 starts from 0 points up to X, which is the maximum score of 66.66% of all users with the lowest score. Level 2 starts from X points up to Y, which is maximum score of 22.22% of all users with a score greater than X.
Up until level N, which has the maximum score of 0.27% of all users with a score greater than the top score of level N-1.
In the following example, Rebecca in in level 1 and she has 64 points. In order to reach level 2 she should earn 150 points:

Smart Personas
Users are assigned with an identity (persona), based on their real-time usage activity.
User Identity (Persona)
The user persona is determined by which actions the user has performed. There are three types of user identities (personas):
- Explorer - mainly consumes content. For example, views content and performs searches.
- Engager - mainly interacts with content. For example, likes content, rates content and follows content.
- Contributor - mainly contributes content. For example, writes posts and comments, uploads documents, etc.
Users can see how they stack up against those within their group who have ranked the highest in the same persona as them.
In the following example, Rebecca from the Quality Assurance department is mainly consuming content, so her main persona is Explorer. She is ranked at the top 40% Explorers, and can see how she ranks compared to other users in her department with similar characteristics who are also identified as Explorers and also how her department is ranked 5th compared to other departments in the organization.
Rebecca is also ranked at the bottom 30% Contributors and bottom 20% Engagers (since she's also contributing content and engaging with content from time to time).
