Creating a Mission is a process of building your Learning Journey layer by layer.
This guide covers the entire workflow, from creating the main Mission container and designing its path to adding the specific tasks (Goals) that bring it to life.
Before You Begin: Plan Your Journey
Before you start building in the platform, it's helpful to map out your Mission on paper or in a document. Ask yourself:
What is the main objective of this journey?
Who is the target audience?
What are the key stages (Milestones) the user needs to go through?
What specific tasks (Goals) will be required at each stage?
Having a clear plan will make the configuration process much faster and more effective.
Step 1: Create and Configure the Mission
The first step is to create the main container for your entire journey.
Navigate to the Missions section in the backoffice.
Select the option to create a new Mission.
You will be prompted to configure the Mission's high-level details:
Mission Name: Give your journey a clear and motivating title (e.g., "Manager Onboarding Program 2025").
Description: Write a short summary of the Mission's purpose and what users will achieve.
Audience: Define which Group of users this Mission should be assigned to.
Visual Design: Set a custom background image or choose a visual theme that matches the narrative of your journey (e.g., a space theme for exploration, a mountain theme for a challenge).
Step 2: Add and Arrange Milestones
With the Mission container ready, it's time to build the main steps of the path. Milestones are the major checkpoints that a user will progress through.
Inside your new Mission's configuration area, find the option to "Add Milestone."
For each Milestone you create, you will need to define:
Its Name (e.g., "Week 1: Foundations," "Mastering the Product").
An Icon or Image that will represent this specific step on the Mission map.
Continue adding Milestones until you have laid out all the major stages of your journey. You can typically drag and drop them to set their final order on the path.
Step 3: Add Goals to Each Milestone
This is the final and most crucial step: defining the specific tasks users must complete. Goals are added inside each Milestone you have created.
Select the Milestone you wish to populate with tasks.
Look for an option like "Add Goal" or "Add Task."
A new window or panel will appear, allowing you to define the Goal. This typically involves two parts:
Selecting the Action: Choose the type of action the user must perform. This is where you can select from across the GFoundry platform (e.g., "Complete a Learn Content," "Give Recognition," "Submit a Form").
Defining the Specifics: Once you've chosen the action type, you will specify the exact item. For example, if you chose "Complete a Learn Content," you will then select the specific course from a list.
Continue adding Goals to each Milestone until your entire journey is built out. A user will only complete a Milestone once all the Goals within it are finished.
By following these three steps—Create the Mission, Build the Milestones, and Add the Goals—you can construct a comprehensive and engaging Learning Journey for any purpose.
