Teamflect offers flexibility in controlling badge visibility and assignment permissions. In addition to limiting badges to “everyone” or “admins,” you can configure them to be exclusively available to managers and administrators, supporting more structured and meaningful recognition practices.

To access and define who can assign each badge, follow these steps in the Teamflect Admin Center at Teamflect Admin Center

Step 1: Navigate to the Recognitions Module

Locate “Modules” in the left navigation panel and click on the “Recognitions” tab.

Step 2: Click "Customize Recognition Badges"

Click "Customize recognition badges".

Step 3: View Default Badges

Once the page opens, you will see the default badges provided by Teamflect.

Step 4: Add, Edit, or Delete

  • Use the “Edit” button to modify existing badges.

  • Click the trash icon to remove a badge.

  • Select the “+ Add” button to create a new badge.

Step 5: Configure the New Badge

After selecting “Add” or “Edit,” a configuration pop-up will appear, allowing you to customize the badge. At the bottom of this pop-up, you will find the option to define who has permission to assign the badge.

Who can give this badge options:

Everyone

All users can access and give this badge all across Teamflect.

Managers and admins

Only managers and admins (including scoped admins) can see and give this badge in the recognition pop-up.

Admins only

Only admins can give this badge.

Use Cases

1. Manager-Controlled Awards
Use Managers and Admins for important badges so only leadership can give them.

2. Peer-to-Peer Recognition
Set badges to Everyone to let all employees recognize each other.

3. Admin-Only Badges
Use Admins only for formal or sensitive awards to keep them controlled.
