For Owner: Start Challenge
As the Challenge Owner, you have the honor of firing the starting pistol.
Open your Challenge page.
Tap the "Start Challenge" button located directly under the challenge name and description.
The challenge duration will officially begin counting from 0:00 (midnight) of the current day and will run until 23:59:59 on the end date determined by your duration setting.
Once you tap start, a push notification is sent to all members to let them know the race is on!
For All Participants: Set Up Challenge Habit
Once the challenge is live, every participant needs to link a habit in their personal Journal to the Challenge. This is how your daily progress is tracked and sent to the group.
Access the Challenge:
Via Notification: Tap the "Challenge Started" push notification to open the Challenge directly.
Via Journal Banner: If you open the app directly, you'll see a small banner in your Journal view notifying you that the challenge has started. Tap it to enter the Challenge.
Start the Setup: Inside the Challenge screen, look for a banner near the bottom that prompts you to set up your tracking habit. Tap on this banner.
Create Your Habit: You will be taken to the habit creation screen. Here, you will manually create a new habit specifically for this challenge.
How to Log Progress
Once your habit is set up, it will appear in your Journal view marked with a special connector icon and the challenge's name. This indicates that it is linked to a live challenge.
Simply check in or log progress from the Journal view on this habit just like any other. See more: Record Habit Progress from Journal.
Your progress will automatically update your standing in the Challenge leaderboard!
Small Note for Website & Desktop Usage
When you are using Habitify on your browser or laptop/pc, the habit linked with your Challenge is not eligible to edit Repeat, Goal, Start Date, and End Date. Additionally, this kind of habit cannot be deleted or archived, either.
You will need to wait until the Challenge ends or when you proactively leave the Challenge.
