What it is for#
This is where you decide how the project's level ladder is built. Levels are not created by hand: they are added automatically as more points come into play, and existing ones never change. What you set are the rules for creating the next ones.
Where it is: Manage › Configuration › Level ladder.

Things to know#
- Levels already created never change. Changing coverage, colour or names only affects the ones created later.
- High coverage makes the top levels almost unreachable: the top level asks for that share of all the points that can be earned.
- With no cap, the ladder keeps growing as long as more points come into play.
- The Levels tab in Badges says the periodic level update is pending activation, while here generation shows as On.
