Milestones

Record the things members achieve between belts: a technique, a kata, a competition, leadership. Attendance milestones are added for you.

Who can use it: Owners, managers and coaches record and edit milestones. Only owners and managers can delete one. Front-desk staff can see them.

Milestones added for you

When a member checks in to a class, IpponBoard adds an Attendance milestone as they pass 1 class (First Class Completed), then 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1,000 classes. They're also caught up when you record a milestone for that member, which is why Ethan's first-class milestone above shows the coach as "Recorded by".

When you award a grade (or approve one a member sent in) that moves them up a belt colour, it adds a Technique Learned milestone such as YELLOW Belt Achieved, once for each colour. A member's first grade doesn't get one, nor does a move within the same colour (for example a new stripe).

You don't set these up, and you can't change the numbers.

Change or delete a milestone

Click a milestone to open Milestone Details. The pencil (Edit) lets you change it and Save Changes; the bin (Delete) removes it.

Members aren't emailed about milestones. They see them in the member portal.
