Admin Setup Guide

A checklist for Salesforce administrators setting up Novigem from scratch. Estimated time: 1-3 hours.

Install into a sandbox first. Validate rules and test with a small pilot group before deploying to production.

Checklist

01

Install the package

Install the managed package via https://novigem.com/install . Choose Install for Admins Only. You will open access via permission sets in the next step.

02

Assign permission sets

Three permission sets ship with Novigem. Assign them under Setup → Permission Sets.

Novigem Admin

System admins and program owners

Novigem User

All participants (reps, CSMs, agents)

Novigem Manager

Team leads who need Team Pulse

Permission sets reference
03

Add Novigem tabs to your app

Add the Novigem tabs to the Salesforce app your pilot team uses via Setup → App Manager.

End users need: Home tab (My Badges, My Challenges, My Points)

Admins need: Challenges · Rules · Badges · Badge Awards · Ledger Entries · Challenge Progress · Novigem Admin

Team Pulse needs no App Builder work. It ships as its own tab.

05

Configure settings and create starter rules

Review general settings under Novigem Admin → Settings → General, then create 2-4 rules to track the behaviours your pilot will reward.

Quick Setup guide
06

Schedule the nightly job

Go to Novigem Admin → Settings → Scheduled Jobs and schedule Nightly Maintenance. It runs recurring challenge resets, coaching signals, and streak milestones. Until it is scheduled, no coaching signals are generated at all and the rep coaching card stays empty forever.

Scheduled Jobs reference
07

Verify the installation

Trigger a test action as a user with the Novigem User permission set, then check Ledger Entries to confirm an entry was created with the correct user, rule, and points.

Troubleshooting if nothing appears
08

Launch your first challenge

Create a challenge, link your rules, set a target, and activate.

Recommended first pilot: 2-4 weeks · 5-15 participants · 1 clear behaviour · 2-4 rules.

Create your first challenge

Admins need both permission sets. Novigem Admin adds capabilities on top of Novigem User. It does not replace it.
