10 Tips for Kudos® Platform Users

Did you know you can...

1. Endorse recognition messages on the wall with K+
   Depending on how your organization has set up the account, the K+ can be worth 1 point in the Kudos® platform to each receiver. If your K+ has a point value, but you do not have enough Points to Give, your K+ will send without points. You cannot K+ a message sent or received by you.
   
2. Call team members directly from our iPhone app and Android app
   Just tap the phone icon on their page to call them.
3. Send a recognition message to a whole group
   Type a group, department, or location name, and the system will auto-populate the field. If you don’t have enough points to give to everyone, the message will be sent without points.
4. Attach up to 3 images or files to any recognition message or general message
   Click Upload Attachment before sending your message. This functionality may not be available depending on the settings created by your administrator.
5. Mention users in messages or comments
   Type @John and the Kudos® platform will display all Johns, then select the correct John to mention. Mentioned users will receive a notification, but will not receive any points.
6. Add hashtags to messages or comments
   #justlikethis Hashtags cannot contain special characters or spaces. Click on a hashtag to see all messages and comments containing that hashtag. 
7. “Like” comments on any recognition or general message
   Click the thumbs up by their comment to “like” it.
8. Create a public wall post with general messages
   Create a General Message and type  “All" in the To field. This feature is available from your computer or mobile device. 
9. Add a sticker to any recognition or general message
   Stickers are large emoticons and can be added along with attachments before a recognition message is sent. There is no limit to the number of stickers you can add.
10. Send an external recognition message to any email address
    Just type in an email address in the To field. External recognition messages carry no points. This functionality may not be available depending on the settings created by your administrator.
