The document provides instructions for using the features of an Incentive Server, including sending collective reminders, invalidating peers from collectives, and sending incentives. Key features include inserting a collective ID and reminder message to send a collective reminder at a specified time, entering peer IDs separated by semicolons to invalidate peers from a collective, and selecting a project, user type, user ID, incentive type (message or preconfigured), and message or ID to send incentives.

Usage examples

2. This is the main page of the Incentive Server.
As stated above, first we need to log in.

3. Click here to log in, and enjoy

5. And Click “Log in”

6. This is the main page for logged in users.
As you can see, there are some new features now.
Of course, we will focus on SmartSociety’s features.
Let’s click there…

7. Here are the possible features you can use:
Send Incentive – allows you to send incentives to both
collectives and peer, with custom or preconfigures messages.
Send Collective Reminder – allows you to send a reminder
incentive to a collective.
Invalidate from Collective – allows you to invalidate
individual peers from a collective that is about to be
reminded.
The last two options will be mainly used by the PeerManager.

8. Lets start with “Send Collective Reminder”

9. First, we need to insert the id of the
collective that is about to be reminded

10. Second, we need to insert the
reminder message

11. Lastly, we need to insert the time that
the reminder should be sent,
represented by UNIX timestamp

12. And of course, click “Send Incentive”
to send the request to the Incentive
Server.

13. Now, let’s invalidate some peers!
Click on “Invalidate from Collective”

14. Here you are presented with two options:
You can either enter the collective id and click “Continue”

15. Or just navigate directly to the appropriate page.
In our example, /invalidate/6802/

16. Let’s enter the collective id, and click “Continue”

17. Now, we are in the page that
allows us to invalidate the peers.
To do so, we need to insert their
ids, separated by semicolons.

18. And of course, click “Invalidate”
to send the request to the
Incentive Server.

19. We saved the best for the last!
Let’s look at “Send Incentive” feature, that
provides a more flexible incentivizing options.

20. Here, we need the name of the
project, that the its user (peer or
collective) is going to be incentivized.
Let’s call our app “WriteShare”.

21. Here, we need choose the type of the
user we incentivizing.
Let’s choose “Peer” this time.

22. Here, we need to enter the user id.
This time it will be the Peer id.

23. Here, we choose the type of the
incentive we want to send:
Message – if we want to write our
own incentive message
Preconfigured – if we want to use a
preconfigured incentive.
This time, we’ll choose “Message”.

24. Here, we need to enter the message
content of our incentive.
Note – If we chose “Preconfigured”,
we had to put here the id of the
preconfigured incentive.

25. Lastly, we need to insert the time
that the incentive should be sent,
represented by UNIX timestamp.
If you want the Incentive Server to be
sent after a timeout that is defined
by the system, you can leave this field
empty.

26. And of course, click “Send Incentive”
to send the request to the Incentive
Server.

27. AND THAT’S IT… EASY RIGHT?
