Now that the Achievement Type is set up, we can start tracking attempts. Attempts, as you might have guessed, are instances of individuals trying to meet the conditions of the Achievement Type. Although there isn’t a formal “status” for attempts, they can be thought of as either successful, unsuccessful or in progress. If the person satisfies the achievement type’s conditions, then the attempt is Successful. If the person fails to meet the conditions, then the attempt is not Successful. If the person is in the middle of working toward the achievement, then their attempt is in progress. Even though achievements are automated, you can add or change individual attempts manually from the Achievement Type screen. Simply click on the attempt row for a person and then click the Edit button. Manual adjustments should be rare but may be needed occasionally due to unusual circumstances or overrides. Start Date / End Date - You can manually change the Start Date and End Date values for the attempt being viewed or added. Progress - Changes here will be reflected in the progress bar for the attempt. A value of “.5” indicates 50% completion. A value of “1” reflects 100% completion and will count as a successful attempt. Adding a new attempt is similar to managing an existing attempt. In addition to the fields above, you'll also need to provide the Achiever Id (the Person Alias Id) and the Achievement that the attempt should be applied to.
