Interests and Expertise

You can declare, self-rate and share your areas of interest. There are three levels of expertise that you can declare: Learner, Knowledgeable, or Expert. All declared interests are displayed in your Profile, and you can edit, add or delete interests at any time.

Suggested Interests

Based on a user's recent activity, inGenius will also suggest additional possible areas of interest. When a user edits their profile, they will be presented with new topics of interest based on recent activity and asked if they'd like to add these to their profile. Users can add these suggested interests by assigning them a rating, or choose to delete them by clicking Delete.

inGenius Score

The inGenius "Score" is a way to recognize users that are active, valuable participants in an organization's inGenius community. Users are awarded inGenius "G's", based on their inGenius activity. Users can earn a maximum of 5 G's. Earning these is based on the quantity of a user's inGenius activity and how many community members found their activity helpful.

Items that contribute to a users inGenius "G" score are:

• Posting Notes or Comments
• Recommending a Title
• Rating other user's Activities

  Note: Overall page views do not contribute to a user's inGenius score.

The inGenius score is displayed when a user views their Profile:
