What is the user budget feature? ๐ค
The user budget feature allows learners to purchase activities for credits from their user budget. These activities are locked with a star icon. On the activity tile, learners can see how many credits they need to spend to unlock the activity shown with a yellow icon.
Learners can simply click on the tile to "buy" the activity๐ธ Learners should have sufficient budget to unlock a activity. If not, this will be stated in the pop-up.
Learners can monitor their budget via their user profile.

Good to know ๐
Learners are not automatically notified when credits are added to their budget. Therefore, we recommend setting up notifications together with the grant budget automations.
