Possible to disable "Badges" and "Achievements"?

jchaven

New user. I do not like "gamifying" something as important as my finances and would like to disable the whole earning badges thing and remove the achievements panel from the dashboard. Is this possible?

Hi @jchaven

Welcome to Simplifi.

As far as I know there is no way to "disable the whole earning badges thing and remove the achievements panel from the dashboard."  The only suggestion I can think of would be to move the "Achievements" card to the end/bottom of the Dashboard and just ignore them.  As far as achievement notifications go after those initial badges you were awarded you won't get that many more achievement notifications and they become more rare after the first few months.

Just so you know, @Coach Natalie monitors this forum closely and may have some information that can help you do what you ask here.

@jchaven,

One additional thing, you can also go into Settings > Notifications and turn off the “Achievement Badge Earned” notification.  This will turn off the notifications related to this altogether which will also make it less of an annoyance to you in Simplifi.

Hello @jchaven,

Thanks for posting your inquiry to the Community!

It looks like @DannyB and @Flopbot have got you covered, however, we do have an existing Idea post requesting the ability to customize the Web App Dashboard that I wanted to share. Having this ability could potentially resolve this matter for you if you're specifically looking to hide the Achievements tile from your Dashboard.

As far as disabling Achievements in general, I thought we had an Idea post requesting this ability, but I'm not finding one. If you'd like to see this change made in Simplifi, you can create an Idea post requesting it so other users can vote on it and our Product Team can review it.
