Events, UserGroups and ranking

Hi everyone, I have some doubts about how user groups are being added, and I wanted to know if anyone has more experience with this or can clarify what the correct process is.

  • When a User Group has 2 speakers, it doesn't seem like both receive points equally. 
  • When an event was co-organized by two people, this also isn't reflected for both. At least for the old events added. 
  • The only option available to add this type of event is "3rd Party Event." 
  • And how the user groups event are being added to the user.

Does anyone know if this is expected behavior (for example, only the main organizer gets points) or if it's a system limitation/bug? 

Best Regards!

Hi @Samuel Espinoza

Based on the screenshot,  (Attend = +5, Speak = +50, Organize = +30), not OutSystems platform user groups. The public documentation does not clearly describe how points are split between multiple speakers or organizers.


From how the Community system typically works, the most likely answers are:


Two speakers on the same User Group event


Points are usually awarded only to users explicitly linked as speakers in the event record.

If only one person received points, either only one speaker was associated with the event or the system did not process the second speaker.

This is not something that can be confirmed from public documentation.


Co-organized events


If older events show points for only one organizer, that could be because:

-The event was originally created with a single organizer.

-Historical data did not support multiple organizers.

-The migration/import did not include all organizers.

Without checking the event configuration, it is impossible to determine whether this is expected or a data issue.


Only "3rd Party Event" available


If that's the only event type you can create, that is likely due to your permissions or the event management process used by the Community platform, rather than a limitation of OutSystems itself.


How User Group events are added to a user


Normally, User Group events are associated through the event record itself (speaker, organizer, attendee, etc.).

The reputation points are then calculated based on those relationships.

If a user is not linked to the event in the appropriate role, points will typically not be awarded.

My recommendation


This looks more like a Community platform/reputation configuration question than an OutSystems development question. If multiple speakers or organizers are not receiving points, I would suspect either:


The event record only contains one speaker/organizer.

Historical events were imported incorrectly.

A limitation/bug exists in the Community system.


The best place to get a definitive answer would be the Community Team or a Community Manager who has access to the rules, because the public documentation does not specify how points are distributed among multiple speakers or organizers.

So, from the information available, I would not assume that only the main organizer should receive points. If both people were correctly assigned as speakers or organizers, both would reasonably be expected to receive credit unless the platform has a specific limitation.
