What are badges and how can I get one?

Badges recognize special titles and achievements in our Community.  You can see badges in your profile, and next to your name when you create a post or comment.

Badge Categories

Badges are allocated into two categories:

• Titles: represented as a text label next to the user's profile that denotes the role of the user.  Examples are: Watermark employee title, Community Moderator, or certification in a specific Watermark product.
• Achievements: represented with an icon next to the user's profile that denotes what the user has done. Examples are: Top Contributor or Circle of Success Participant.
