Setting Up Predictions in a Challenge

Overview

When you include predictions in a challenge, members will be invited to provide prediction votes on posted ideas. Once the Predictions phase begins, the prediction tab allows members to provide assessments for all submitted ideas in the graduation stage, based on the criteria you selected (time to implement, cost of implementation, and/or anticipated yearly revenue).

How it Works

You must be logged in as a Site Administrator to set up Predictions in a Challenge.

How to Set Up Predictions

  1. Open a Challenge and expand the Phase Editor.  

           

NOTE

This capability is not available to Challenge Sponsors, who can only change the name and timing of phases.
