October 18, 2024 Update: See this article and this overview of Points, Badges, and Recognition for the latest information. While the information in this blog is currently correct, it may evolve in the future.January 8, 2024 Update: A new Top 10 badge has been added for Creators who finish with the 4th through 10th most points in a year. The top three will still receive the gold, silver, and bronze badges mentioned below.The success of our Unqork Community depends upon the contributions of our community members. We are continually looking for new ways to recognize and reward those Creators most actively sharing their expertise, their questions, their ideas, and their lessons learned. I am excited to announce the newest recognition: Annual Leaderboard Badges.  Annual Leaderboard BadgesThese yearly badges follow the same template as the monthly leaderboard badges we launched in August:Gold, Silver, and Bronze badges for the top 3 points earners within the year. There is also a badge for the most answers provided within the year. Each badge will be awarded to only one Creator each calendar year.  Gold Badge: Most Points Silver Badge:2nd Most Points Bronze Badge:3rd Most Points Aqua Badge:Most Answers  The 2022 version of these badges have been awarded to @Laxminarsaiah Ragi, @Srikanth Dommati, and @vamsi krishna for finishing atop the leaderboard last year. (Unfortunately, we are not able to retroactively award these badges for points earned in 2020 and 2021.   Tracking Your ProgressWhile our Community Leaderboard only has views for the current week and All Time, you can check your points in any custom time frame with this simple Unqork app. You can find this app on the Community Hub home page below the leaderboard widget. Learn more here:  Monthly UpdatesAdditionally, we will share a year-to-date leaderboard for both points and answers in our monthly leaderboard update blogs. You can see the latest, and see the standings after January, here: We will also explore additional features for self-service leaderboard checking. We have requested this feature from our community platform vendor and are exploring ways we might build it using Unqork.  Earning Points and RecognitionOur general approach to points on the Community Hub is to recognize and reward nearly everything you do, from small activities like upvoting a reply or idea, to larger contributions like participating in hackathons or presenting on events. This way, our Community Leaderboard and individual point totals reflect total contributions to our community, whether on the Community Hub or by participating in Unqork events or programs.Learn more:  What do you think?

Today, I’m excited to share updates to our Unqork Community Subject Matter Expert (SME) program. This program recognizes Creators who demonstrate their expertise through contributions on the Community Hub and/or our events. These changes will enhance the benefits for those in the SME program, as well as increase flexibility for earning and maintaining SME status. Additionally, the revised criteria recognizes and rewards the expertise developed through Unqork certification. An overview of the changes follows, but you can read more details on the current program here:  Background and ContextThe original SME program was launched in 2020 and predates our Community Hub. As we’ve expanded and evolved our community over the past 18 months, we have collected improvement ideas and feedback from SMEs. The changes were developed based largely on their input, in addition to close analysis of success metrics and our recent community survey. There are three primary goals behind these changes: trust, flexibility, and gratitude.  TrustWhen you see a Creator identified as a Subject Matter Expert, you need to trust that their expertise has been validated. To date, this expertise is demonstrated through answering many questions. However, we have additional measures in Unqork certifications and best practice training to help validate expertise. FlexibilityThe time and attention of experts are in high demand. Creators that achieve certification and SME status report increased responsibilities in their work and new opportunities for professional development like new jobs or promotions. We recognize that experts’ ability to contribute may vary depending on other professional and personal priorities. Therefore, we hope to allow experts to match their contributions to their time and interests, while also rewarding the other ways they develop their expertise. GratitudeOur community is at its best when experts are actively contributing. They drive a tremendous amount of success in our community whether answering questions, sharing tips and tricks, or presenting on events. We want to ensure that we recognize and reward our top contributors, not just when they achieve SME status, but as they continue to have an impact on our community. What’s Changing The primary changes are adjustments to the criteria for earning and maintaining SME status. These requirements are now aligned to certification status, validating (trust) expertise and providing additional flexibility for higher levels of certification. Additionally, we are enhancing the benefits for SMEs, especially those active for multiple years, as a reflection of our gratitude. Finally, the criteria for Unqork staff has been adjusted to reflect the variety of ways different roles cultivate expertise and/or contribute.New Criteria for SMEsThe general structure is the same: Creators are asked to actively contribute over a number of months and also answer questions. Creators with Unqork certifications are now rewarded with additional flexibility in earning SME status. However, those without formal certification (Associate or higher) must demonstrate their expertise through increased contributions. Additionally, the Unqork Agile Framework (UAF) skill badge is required as an important Unqork best practice.   UAF Skill Badge Months of 200+ Points Questions Answered No Certification Not eligible Novice Badge Required At least 5 of 6 months 30 Associate Required At least 3 of 4 months 20 Professional Required At least 3 of 6 months 15 Unqork Staff Required N/A 15  Maintaining SME StatusPreviously, SMEs were expected to earn 200+ month-over-month to maintain their status. Now, SMEs are granted the flexibility to make their impact over the course of 12 months. Additional flexibility is given to those who increase their certification in recognition of both the time it takes and expertise it cultivates.   Maintains Certification Level Moves Up Certification Level Alternative: Answers Novice 2000 points per year 1200 points per year 30 Associate  1200 points per year 1000 points per year 20 Professional 1000 points per year Not yet available 15 Unqork Staff *Based on job role and responsibilities Additional alternatives are also available (see the program overview link below for details). Benefits of SME StatusPreviously, SMEs were recognized with a badge on their community profile and some Unqork swag. Over the past year, we have added additional recognition and community features. As part of these updates, we are further enhancing the perks of earning and maintaining SME status; read the details here:  Going ForwardThese changes are effective going forward; officially beginning tomorrow: February 1, 2023. However, we recognize that this change may impact those that have been pursuing SME status over the past several months. Creators who had previously earned 200+ points in two or more months between September 2022 and January 2023 (check your points here) will be granted consideration under the previous requirements (20 answers; 3 consecutive months of 200+ points) on a case by case basis. Questions & FeedbackIf you have questions about this program, your progress toward SME status, or feedback you’d like to share, please send me a message here on the Community Hub or at community@unqork.com

We’re excited to share some updates to our Unqork certification exams. Unqork will be launching a new exam process for all certification levels that will better test your knowledge on the Unqork platform and provide a more seamless experience for you as a test taker. Here are a few highlights of the changes:The new exam will consist of 60 multiple choice questions with a 105 minute time limit.  You will need a 70% passing score to earn your certification.  We will be lowering the cost per individual exam attempt to $200.  The transition will come with a new proctoring experience including features like a live representative to help resolve any issues you may have with the proctoring service and a smoother grading process.There will be no impact to current certification holders. You will continue to complete your certification maintenance on Unqork Academy and can continue to view your certification on Credly. While we transition to this new exam, we have discontinued the current certification exam process. We expect to launch our new associate exam in mid February and professional in mid March. Unqork Enablement Team

We are excited to announce the publication of a new Forrester Consulting study validating Codeless! According to this study, 60% of companies say reducing reliance on code is a strategic priority. Even more remarkably, 7 in 10 said moving to a completely codeless is important, even critical, to digital transformation.Given the challenges they face writing and managing code, the move to codeless makes sense, especially now. With codeless, enterprises can build, run, and manage next-generation software without ever having to write a single line of code.To learn more about this study and the impact of codeless please download the report here.

Happy holidays to all who celebrate this time of year! And congratulations on a great year as 2022 comes to a close. Thanks to all who have contributed to our Unqork Community. This time of year brings extended out-of-office time for myself, my colleagues, and likely many Creators in our community. Please note that you may see delayed and reduced activity during this time, including: Replies and answers Deleting flagged posts Responding to messages and emailsIn particular, the Unqork office will be closed on December 23-26 and December 30 to January 2. However, you can still expect timely support from Unqork during this time. One of the great things about our Community Hub is that it’s always on. You are welcome to still ask your questions and share your ideas, but please manage your expectations accordingly.  2022 in ReviewI hope to share some additional Community-specific metrics early in the new year, but here are two retrospectives you can review.  And the Unqork Rewind is full stats about the millions of lines of code avoided and hours saved. Here’s a fun example from our Twitter account: Image from the Tweet above 

As we transition into 2023, and after one year live with our Community Hub, we are seeking your feedback and input in our first annual Unqork Community Survey. These results will help us benchmark our progress and inform our strategic direction for 2023 and beyond.The survey will take approximately 3-5 minutes to complete. The questions are limited to your experience with the Community Hub and related programs. You’ll be asked to answer questions relating to: Overall satisfaction Community vision and mission Strategic outcomes Community Hub featuresMost questions are rating scales between 1 and 5. There are a few optional open-ended questions as well.Earn 50 points or answer anonymouslyYour feedback is valuable and will help us improve in 2023 and beyond. As a thank you, you can earn 50 points for completing this survey. You also have the option to complete the survey anoymously if you prefer.Take the Survey Please complete the survey by January 31, 2023.  

One of the best Community Hub features just got better: API Documentation and videos from our Unqork Create conferences are now indexed in our federated search. Previously, these had been the only Knowledge Base resources not yet included in search. This improvement strengthens Community Hub as your one-stop-shop for Creator resources, making it possible to see all resources available on a given topic.  More Information on Federated SearchWe’ve updated the initial announcement blog with the full details of how this feature works.And this update builds on the improvements announced last month:  As always, share your feedback with a reply below, an email to community@unqork.com, or --better yet!-- an idea here on the Community Hub.  

Now, when you complete the Unqork Agile Framework training course in Unqork Academy, you will earn a corresponding skill badge on your Community Hub profile. This is in addition to the Credly skill badge awarded through Academy for you to share on your Linkedin profile. This course is recommended learning for all Creators, so we want to recognize those Creators who have completed this training on Unqork best practices. UAF Skill BadgeAbout UAFThe Unqork Agile Framework (UAF) is Unqork's delivery methodology for building applications in Unqork.

At Unqork Create 2022, Unqork CEO Gary Hoberman unveiled Codeless as a Service. Read the announcement and watch Gary’s keynote to learn more! Highlights What is Codeless as a Service? From the press release:Codeless as a Service allows enterprise customers to seamlessly build, run and manage next generation software – with a single open data definition. Unqork customers can achieve a secure, multi-cloud codeless architecture for applications that provide usability, extensibility, upgradability, portability, reliability and more. As a result, customers are able to create future-proof software applications that unlock substantial productivity gains with a faster proof of value than traditional coding. Additionally, Unqork announced two major investments in the evolution of its codeless platform, Unqork OS and Codeless Data Experiences. Read more. “A category that has never existed before”From the keynote:“Codeless as a Service picks up where the serverless movement left off in the journey of abstraction, empowering enterprises to build, run, and manage next-generation software—all with a single, open data definition” [...]In his keynote, Hoberman argued that CaaS is fundamentally different from low-code/no-code tools, which still require significant manual coding—and/or generate lots of new code themselves. "Unqork does not generate code. It is an interpreter of code,” said Hoberman. “That’s why Codeless as a Service is not just another tool in a tool shed. It is a category that has not existed before.” 

Our federated search capability is one of the many ways Community Hub serves as your one-stop-shop for Creator resources. Today, I’m excited to announce improvements to one of my favorite features! Filter by SourcePreviously, search results for some content was grouped together into a single source: Additional Resources. You would see documentation articles, Academy training, and Marketplace listings all listed together. Now, each resource is categorized as a unique source broken out and filterable in the results. This applies to both the initial search experience on the home page and the full search functionality at community.unqork.com/search. Example of results by source when searching on HomeExample of filterable search when on full search results page More Information on Federated SearchWe’ve updated the initial announcement blog with the full details of how this feature works.As always, share your feedback with a reply below, an email to community@unqork.com, or --better yet!-- an idea here on the Community Hub. Happy searching!

In an effort to continue producing highly-detailed documentation for Unqork Creators, the Documentation Hub has undergone some changes. These changes were made to improve user experience and allow for easier navigation of the documentation. In addition to the changes to the site, ongoing updates to the look and feel of our documents are taking place. With the new component UI changes, you’ll find the documentation more intuitive and more representative of what you see when configuring modules.What ChangedDocumentation Hub Improved Search: While we continue to improve our search engine, an industry-standard documentation site should not be dependent on it. You’ll find a completely restructured side navigation for the different buckets of our site. This includes alphabetized organization, and lower-level documentation moved to top-level sections. These changes make it easier to locate documentation based on topic, and minimize clicking. Documentation Hub articles remain accessible within our Community Hub search:  New Landing Pages: We’ve also created new landing pages for all top-level sections of the side-nav. These landing pages provide brief descriptions of the lower-level documentation in that section and include direct links. For example, check out the Table Operators section of the Data Workflow: Operator Library in our User Manual. New How-to Organization: All How-to guides are now housed in the How-to Guides section, with new landing pages explaining each guide of that section. For example, check out the Module Editor: Component Library section of our How-to Guides. Improved Navigation: With the new UI changes to components, use the side-nav to navigate the article itself better. This change reduces scrolling and allows everyone to use the Doc Hub as it was intended: as a true reference site to find the exact information you are looking for. For example, check out the new and improved Panel and Text Field component articles. Component Articles With the new look and feel of components, we made documentation changes to match the UI. Tables now look identical to the tables you would see in the actual component settings. Updated images that display the new component settings. In our step-by-step procedures, you’ll see new text colors that match the component. For example, Property ID and Label Text colors. As you proceed through the step-wise procedures, hover over the settings we ask you to configure to display descriptions. This change keeps you on task and minimizes the need to scroll back to the settings portion of the doc. For example, hover over the Property ID in step 2 of the Text Field component article. Instead of bold text for steps like “Click Save & Close” and “Save your module”, you’ll now see this text as the actual button you would click in the component. While these changes appear as images, they are still compatible with any customers that need to use a translation tool, like Google Translate.  Documentation RequestsWe value your feedback.
