Global Masters Badges Descriptions
Hi Community!
Here you will find info about badges of the Developer Community & InterSystems Global Masters Advocacy Hub, and the complete list of badges with descriptions on how to get them.
Please note: our current vendor doesn't have Levels functionality yet, but we are working on bringing it back.
General info about Levels & Badges on Global Masters Advocate Hub
All the participants are located on the 1st "Insider" level after joining the Hub. To level up, you should earn a number of badges from the next level. Badges can be earned for completing various challenges at the Global Masters.
You can find all levels and badges at the Global Masters Advocate Hub in your profile.
Also, you can see all earned badges at your DC profile page, except the badges from the Global Masters Achievements section (these badges related to Global Masters achievements only and visible at your Global Masters profile page).

You made my day.
It's really easy to follow and helps much more then the "short cutted" version.

Too much badges. Keep it simple.
Hi, Udo! I think too much it's about that ;)

Recently we fixed badges synchronization between Global Masters and community. So you can see all your badges achieved in the My Account->Badges section. E.g. here are the @Daniel Kutac's badges.
