Create and Customize Leaderboards

Drive retention and improve program engagement using Leaderboards. Leaderboards are scoreboards that assign points and rank users based on actions taken in a Workspace, such as connecting a network and sharing posts. Leaderboards encourage your team to regularly participate in the program and create a little friendly competition. 

In this article, we'll go over the steps to create a Leaderboard and change point values assigned to each action. You can learn more about how Leaderboards work in this article.

Let's get started!

🔹 This is available on the Teams, Enterprise, and Unlimited plans.

1. Go to Admin > Leaderboards.
2. Click New Leaderboard.
3. Toggle on Enabled to activate the Leaderboard.
4. Title the Leaderboard.

Activate Leaderboards

Leaderboards are disabled by default and must be enabled by Admins to start accruing points. Enable Leaderboards with the following steps.

Edit the point system

Each Leaderboard will have default point values for various actions. Leaderboard points attribute values to more than 35 data points, including posting content, sharing content, and inviting users. Point values are applicable from the time the value is saved and the points apply to all future actions.

1. Go to Admin > Leaderboards.
2. Click Edit.
3. Scroll to Scoring/Points.

4. Adjust points by using presets or set custom values within each category.

   Points can be whole numbers or include one decimal point.

FAQ

Why can't I select a date in the past for the start date of my Leaderboard?

Leaderboards cannot collect points retroactively; they can only gather points from the current date forward, so you cannot select dates in the past as the start date for your Leaderboard.
