How do I allow Users to select a Value from a Distributed Value list?

This article applies to Pro, Team, and Legacy editions. 

Self-selected values will be presented to Users as a list, allowing them to make selections of their choosing. This is useful for allowing Users to pick a preferred incentive reward

From the Project Homepage:

  2. Click the Content or Releases button in the navigation bar menu.
  3. Click the table cell of the desired Content or Release.
  4. Click Create a new distributed value type under the Distributed values heading.
  5. Add a Title for the Distributed Value Type.
  6. Select Self-selected or Self-selected dates and times from the Distribution Method drop-down menu.
  7. Paste or Generate Values to be distributed to Users in the Values field.
  8. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

You have successfully configured Self-Selected Distributed Values.

The exact same functionality exists for Community Content as well.

Requirements

  • Manage Content Role (Community and Project)
  • Manage Releases Role (Project)

Notes

  • Self-selected date and time Values will be presented to Users as a list, allowing them to make selections of their choosing. This is useful for scheduling meetings with groups of Users. Note that both a date and time are required for this Value, and they will be adjusted to the User's timezone automatically.
  • Increasing the Values Per User setting will allow you to have Users receive more than one Value when they view the Content or Release.
  • Increasing the Users Per Value setting will allow more than one user to select each Value before it is consumed. This would allow a meeting to be scheduled, for example, where each time slot could support three attendees. In this case, you would set Users Per Value to 3.
