Challenge Type
Each challenge type differentiates between “Daily Totals” and Activity Totals”:
Daily Totals: all day values count into the challenge, independent of recorded activities.
Activity Totals: only values from allowed activities count into the challenge. For instance, if Running was configured as allowed activity, only values recorded during running activities count towards the challenge target.
The following table shows which wearables are compatible with each challenge type.
Tip: include wearable compatibility in your challenge description or landing page to inform users which wearable can be used for your challenge.

Allowed Sports
Defines, which activity types are counted for the challenge. This information is not shown to the user and should be described in the description.
Visibility
The visibility timeframe of the challenge. Defines, when the challenge is shown to the user. This is independent of how long the challenge runs. Make sure to set the visibility at least as long as the challenge runs.
Duration
Determines how long the challenge runs. There are two options:
Starts at ‘Active From’-Date (Fixed Duration): challenge starts and ends at a set date which applies to all users independent when they join.
Starts individually for each user (Individual Duration): challenge starts user-speficially when user clicks on “start challenge”. The challenge runs user-specifically for the value set in “Duration in days”.
“Active from” and “Active to” determine timeframe in which user is able to individually start the challenge.
Examples for Visibility vs Duration:
Example 1: Visibility = Jan 1 – Apr 1 // Duration (fixed) = Mar 1 – Mar 31
User will see the challenge from Jan 1 and will be able to click on “start challenge”. A countdown will tell the user that challenge won’t count before Mar 1.
On Mar 31 challenge will stop counting values but will remain visible until Apr 1.
Example 2: Visibility = Jan 1 – Apr 31 // Duration (individual 20 days) = Mar 1 – Mar 30
User will see the challenge from Jan 1 and needs to wait until the challenge active from date is reached. User will be able to start the challenge any time between Mar 1 and Mar 30. Once startet (click on “start challenge”), the challenge will run for 20 days.
User can repeat the challenge until Mar 30 (last date to click on “start challenge”).
User will be able to see the challenge until Apr 1 (start is only possible until Mar 30).

Challenge finished: “reward message” and “reward url” will be shown as soon as the target and the challenge end date is reached.
