### New Missions Dashboard We have launched a comprehensive Missions Dashboard designed to provide a 360-degree view of your gamification health, operational efficiency, and incremental player value. Spanning multiple analytical views, this new tool allows you to: * Measure Behavioral Lift: Quantify the "Mission Effect" by comparing average daily KPIs. * Optimize Operational Health: Identify and fix friction points by spotting missions with low completion rates and monitoring long-running "forgotten" missions to maintain a fresh user experience. * Evaluate the actual appeal of your rewards by tracking the gap between mission completion and claimed rewards, helping to manage financial liability and player motivation. * Cross-reference mission participation with RFM and Value Score distributions to ensure your gamification strategy is effectively reaching your most profitable players.

Players won’t be able to complete the badge until the start date is reached. * **End date:** If an end date is configured, the badge will be marked as Expired once that date is reached, and players will no longer be able to complete it.
