You can edit the default points here:
Your default amount is the number of points each teammate will receive on their anniversary. If you would like to customize the points for different tenures, you can do so by specifying the anniversary year and the corresponding points for that specific tenure. Simply fill in the anniversary year and the amount of points for each desired tenure.
Note: if you wish to specify incremental amounts, make sure to include '+bonus_amount' in the message celebrating the achievement. This tells the system to expect and adjust for the different bonus values.
You can do this by clicking the add anniversary year button and adding in the anniversary year and your desired points.
In this example, we'll celebrate one-year anniversaries with 50 points and five-year anniversaries with 500 points. All other anniversaries will receive the value entered in the "default amount" field. Don't forget to hit the save button once you are finished!
