What is the Autopilot Feature for Challenges?

The autopilot feature for Challenges is a simple and easy way to keep portal members engaged by automatically issuing premade Challenges at preset, specific dates throughout the year. When you turn the autopilot feature on, all challenges are already created and set to go, one at a time, at specific start dates. To see the schedule for upcoming challenges included in the autopilot, see this article.

NOTE: The only thing you need to do is make sure portal members are aware when the Challenge is open for registration. Once users register, they will automatically receive communications alerting them when a phase starts, when one is scheduled to end, and they'll get congrats messages for successfully completing phases.

Challenges are scheduled so they are initiated at seasonally relevant times; for instance, the walking challenge is scheduled during late summer/early fall when it is typically comfortable in many regions to walk outside. The autopilot schedule changes from year to year to avoid having the same Challenges in consecutive years.

To enable the Challenge Autopilot feature for a portal (assuming your company has Challenges enabled):

1. Go to the Settings section
2. Enter the Portal Management module
3. Choose the portal you want to enable autopilot for
4. Click on Challenges in the CONTENT section of the left-hand menu

Now you are on the main Challenge page where you can select Autopilot above the table and toggle the feature on:
