The main table in the Achievements section, titled 'Contributions, metrics for selected period (compared to prior period and team average for Open Source and Premium plans)', displays crucial metrics:
- Level: Your developer Level reflects overall growth and engagement. You'll see your current level for the selected period, compared to the previous period and the team's median level. Percentage changes indicate growth or stagnation.
- XP (Experience Points): XP, also known as your contribution score, quantifies your activity from commits, pull requests, and code reviews. This metric is compared against the previous period and the team's median, showing your relative contribution and progress.
- Achievements (total received): This metric tracks the total number of distinct achievements or badges you've earned. It's compared to the previous period and the team's median, highlighting new recognitions.
Each metric includes an information icon (i) for quick access to further details and definitions.
