Configure recognition coins and giving allowances

Roam admins can customize the coins teammates give each other, their redemption value, and how often giving allowances reset.

Open Points Settings

  1. Click W!N in the bottom toolbar.
  2. Select Administration > Features & Funding.
  3. Enable Recognition Points, then click Customize.

You can also open Administration > Points > Settings.

Set Allowances and Value

The default giving allowance is $1 per person per day (10 coins at the default point value). You can choose a different allowance and reset schedule.

In Allowances & Value, configure:

  • Giving Allowance: The amount each person can give teammates during a period. Add user-group allowances if different teams need different amounts.
  • Value per Point: What each received coin is worth when redeemed in the Store.
  • Reset Schedule: Daily, weekly on Mondays, or monthly on the first.
  • Time Zone: When the allowance resets at midnight.

Unused giving allowance does not carry over. Changes to allowances apply to the current period when saved. Coins teammates have received are separate from the giving allowance.

The allowance is a giving limit, not a fixed cost. Actual spending depends on how many coins are given and redeemed for gift cards.

Changing the value per point changes what existing unspent coins can buy. Dollar allowances stay the same, with their coin amounts adjusted to the new value.

Customize Names and Appearance

Open Names & Appearance to choose singular and plural currency names and design the coin. Use the Coinery to adjust its shape, color, icon or emoji, and text where supported, then save your changes.

Choose a Recognition Channel

Open Recognition Posts to choose where W!N announces recognition. Review the post preview and save your settings.

Your company also needs W!N funding for teammates to redeem their coins for gift cards.
