Abstract
A method and system for computing a score and achievement level for system users based on actions that the users perform in corresponding applications and systems. An algorithm calculates and tracks a score for each user, where the score is incremented by a prescribed number of points for each action performed by the user in the systems. The point value of each action is dependent upon the type of action and other factors including how many times, and when, the user has previously performed the same type of action. Each user's score is converted to a system usage level. The score and level are displayed to the user in the system, along with tips for how to earn more points and how to achieve a level upgrade. Rewards or incentives may be attached to achievement of certain scores and/or levels.
