How do I gain a Kudo to give?
Simply logging into your community, will gain you a Kudo per day to give to any other contributing member.
-
Can I log in multiple times a day to get more Kudos to give out?
Members receive only 1 Kudo per day, regardless of the number of logins. But come back tomorrow and you'll have another Kudo to give.
-
Do I have to actually log out/log in to earn a Kudo? Or do I simply need to wait for the next day?
One Kudo is available to give at the first login of a day. When Remember me is ON, it's available with the first community hit of a day. NOTE - If I’m logged into a community and switch to another community I won’t have a Kudo for the 2nd community (unless I log out and back in).
-
Do I have to give out my Kudo every day?
No, you can bank them and give out multiple Kudos on a future date. Kudos do not expire.

Can I give more than one Kudo to another member?
Yes, you can, provided you have banked enough Kudos.

Can I give a Kudo to myself?
No, we designed Kudos to be shared.
-
Can I give Kudos to multiple submitters?

-
Can I give Kudos to my Idea co-submitters?
Yes, if you have submitted an idea with other users you can give Kudos to your co-submitters, provided you have enough Kudos banked to give to all of the other co-submitters.
-
Wait, I gave Kudos to the wrong Member! Can I revoke my Kudo?
Not possible to retract, but once you login the next day you'll have a new one to give.
-
How are Kudos different from voting?
Kudos are given to specific members for their contributions, not for ideas. Unlike votes, you can give as many Kudos as you like to a single contributor. Kudos have no bearing on the vote whatsoever.
-
Are Kudos a healthy snack or really just a candy bar?
