Configuring Gamescope Settings

Gamescope will not be supported for new sign-ups from October 1st, 2021. We will sunset it for all users by November 30th 2021. All users are recommended to use Motivator for Zoho CRM instead, which is more advanced and packed with essential features. 

Gamescope runs on trophies and badges. It is important to configure the right trophies and badges before you start a game.

Permission Required
Users with Module Customization permission in their profile can access this feature.


Trophies Vs Badges

  • A trophy is an award you get only if you take part in a game. If you do not take part in a game, you cannot win a trophy.
  • A badge is an award you get, not for winning a contest, but for completing a sales target. You do not have to be a part of a game in order to win a badge.

Manage Trophies

Trophies are configured based on sales activities such as leads conversion, deal closure, task completion and so on. To configure a trophy, you must mention the sales activity, the criteria to be met in order for a person to win the trophy as well as the number of points that the trophy is worth.

  • Trophies for a game are awarded only based on the performance during that particular game period.
  • By default Zoho CRM has five trophies.
  • Users can create up to 20 custom trophies to their CRM account.

Add New Trophies

To add a new trophy

  1. In your Zoho CRM account, go to  Setup .
  2. Under  General  settings, click  Gamescope .
  3. In the  Gamescope  page, click  Trophies  >  + Add New.
  4. Specify the required details in the
     
    Add New Trophy window.
    • Name -  Enter a suitable name for the parameter.
    • Challenge -  Provide a brief description about the trophy.
    • Module -  Select the module on which the action has to be performed to win the trophy.
      You can create trophies for all modules except notes and emails.
    • Action -  Select the action that has to be performed in the module.
      Create, Edit  and  Create or Edit  are actions that are common to all modules. Apart from these, each module has some special actions associated with it. For example,  Leads  module has an action called  Convert,
      Potential  module has an action called  Closed Won/Lost.
    • Trophy icon -  Select an icon to represent the trophy from the list of available icons and name it as per your choice. 
    • Criteria -  Mention the criteria for the action to be performed.
    • Criteria name -  Enter a suitable name for the criteria for easy identification.
      The Point Label should not exceed 50 characters.
    • Points -  Specify the points to be awarded each time the action, matching the criteria is performed. Each criteria should have a point associated to it.
      Points will not be awarded when the actions are performed in the following ways:
      Actions done using import , sheet view , bulk api insert; actions like automatic email response, automatic task creation that are performed by triggering automation workflow.

      For example, if the trophy is to be awarded to user who converts maximum leads from the Large Enterprise Industry, do the following:
      • Choose  Leads  as the module.
      • Choose  Convert  as the action.
      • Under  Criteria  choose  Industry  is  Large Enterprise .
      • Specify the number of points for the action.
        Also you can make this more interesting by providing multiple scoring scales. For example, under criteria you can provide multiple criteria each with different points. Say, if the  Lead source  is  Webform , they can be given lesser points than a lead with a source as  Chat.  This is because obtaining a lead by directly interacting with them needs more effort than obtaining a lead through webforms.
  5. Click  Add .

Note
  • Once a trophy is created, it automatically gets enabled for the ongoing games as well as future games.
  • For ongoing games, this will not affect the current score. The trophy's score will get included only from the moment it is created.

Enable Notifications

Since users may not be present in the gamescope page all the time, they are likely to miss certain important updates about ongoing games. For example, a user may not know that another player has overtaken him/her in a particular game. To avoid this, the user can turn on notifications for a particular game which he/she considers important. Once notifications are turned on, the user will get a notification every time his/her rank gets affected.

To enable notifications for a particular game

  1. Click the  Gamescope  icon. 
  2. In the  Games  page, click the  Ongoing games  tab.
  3. Click the  Notification  icon that is displayed near the game for which notification has to be enabled. 
  4. This will create a seperate tab with the selected game's name as the tab's name.
    Clicking this tab will provide complete details about this ongoing game.

  5. These notifications can be viewed later (if the user was not available at that particular time) by clicking  notification  icon in the gamescope page.

Note
  • Notifications can be enabled only for one game at a time.
  • The users will get notification for the badges by default. It is not necessary to enable notification for badges.
  • Users will get pop up notifications by default in the following instances:
    • When a new game starts.
    • When a game ends along with the name of the winner.
    • When the user wins a trophy.
