Classic Recognition Programs: How to Create Core Value Hashtags

Note: This article is in reference to the Classic version of Recognition Programs. It does not reflect the new and improved Recognition Programs released as of September 2019. If you would like information on the new Recognition Programs, please see this article and contact your account manager to enable the new feature. 

This article is designed to walk you through the process of creating a new core value #hashtag within your Awardco platform. The hashtags you create can be attached to recognitions as a way of emphasizing your organization's core values and beliefs. The use of your organization's core value hashtags can be tracked through the platform's reporting features. 

Quick Fix

 Hashtags > Add Hashtags > Save

Step by Step Instructions

 Log In to your Account and click on the Admin button.

Once you've navigated to the administrative side of the platform, you will need to click on the Settings tab.  

In the Settings column on the left, click on Hashtags. 

Here you'll see a list of all the active hashtags you've selected for your organization. To create a new hashtag, then click the Add Hashtag button found on the righthand side of the page. 

Next, add the text for your hashtag with its optional description. Making it available will allow your employees to begin using the new hashtag in their recognitions. Be sure to click Save when you are all finished.

Note: Only the Hashtags you create in the system can be shown in your platform reporting. If you or your employees type in a hashtag that isn't logged in your Awardco platform, it can't be searched or counted.
