Filter Description |
| Metric |
Select a single metric. The default is activity score, but any metric within your organization's account can be used here. |
| Time Frame |
Select a time frame with options ranging from Today to Last Year. ↳ Using "custom" time frames is not supported for most improved leaderboards. Note: A week in Ambition is Monday - Sunday. Quarters and years are based on calendar quarters and years not fiscal quarters or years. |
| Rank By |

| Type |
Select the hierarchy level for which you wish to view leaderboard data. |
| Include Employees* Without Data |
Include employees (*or respective group type) even if they haven't contributed to the selected metric. Users or groups without data will display on the leaderboard, but they will have two dashes in line with their name instead of a numerical value. |
| Filter By Group |
If "employee" was selected as the "type", refine the leaderboard by comparing individuals within the same role, team, or location. Learn more about Ambition's hierarchy levels here. |
| Search |
Search for a term based on the "type" being filtered. Ex. Type = Employee, search for user's names. |
3. Select either Most Improved by Value or Most Improved by Rank.
4. Optionally, most improved leaderboards can be used on a leaderboard TV slide as well.
What are the two types of most improved leaderboards?
Within most improved leaderboard there are two ranking methods, each providing a unique ranking of the most improved.
1. Most Improved by Value
Relative rankings based on the absolute metric value, rankings are shown based on the increase or decrease in value for the selected metric and time frame.
Individuals will show a +, 0, or - in line with their name.
Examples from the image below:
Metric - Calls.
Time Frame - Today
+4 = William has completed 6 more calls than yesterday.
0 = Misty has made the same number of calls as yesterday.
-1 = Caleb has made 1 less calls than yesterday.
2. Most Improved by Rank
Relative rankings based on the individual's increase or decrease in rank for the selected time frame.
Individuals will show an up or down arrow and their corresponding change in rank. A 0 indicates no change in rank.
Example from the image below:
Metric - Calls
Time Frame - Today
First place, ^10 = Brooke improved 10 positions (rank) from yesterday.
Think of this ranking as a Power Ranking for a professional sports league!
How do the time frames selected impact the rank/values shown?
Why are our numbers negative? Why is the leaderboard constantly changing? Understanding the time frame selection is central to understanding the most improved leaderboard.
1. Selecting Current Time Frames = Today, This Week, This Month, This Quarter, This Year:
- Leaderboard compares the full historical time frame to the current, partial time frame.
- Values may appear low or negative early on in the selected time frame, but will turn positive as the contributors have more time to contribute to their metrics.
- Current time frame leaderboards will rapidly adjust throughout the time frame as more employees contribute.
What are current time frame selections comparing against?
| Time Frame Selection | Compares Against |
|---|---|
| Today (partial results) | Yesterday (complete results) |
| This Week (partial results) | Last Week (complete results) |
| This Month (partial results) | Last Month (complete results) |
| This Quarter (partial results) | Last Quarter (complete results) |
| This Year (partial results) | Last Year (complete results) |
Partial vs Compete Results Comparisons Example
On a Tuesday, Misty, -2, only needs to set two more meetings to match last week's total.
As we near the end of the week, we can expect users to outperform last week's totals, moving into the + territory.
2. Selecting Historical Time Frames = Yesterday, Last Week, Last Month, Last Quarter, Last Year:
- Leaderboard will compare full, final results from historical time periods (week over week, month over month, etc.).
What are historical time frame selections comparing against?
| Time Frame Selection | Compares Against |
|---|---|
| Yesterday (complete results) | 2 Business Days Ago (complete results) |
| Last Week (complete results) | 2 Weeks Ago (complete results) |
| Last Month (complete results) | 2 Months Ago (complete results) |
| Last Quarter (complete results) | 2 Quarters Ago (complete results) |
| Last Year (complete results) | 2 Years Ago (complete results) |
Complete Result Comparisons Example
- Nolan held 3 more meetings last week than did two weeks ago. Nolan is the most improved by value.
Note: In the event of a tie, the individuals' actual metric value and name are used to determine who appears first on the leaderboard.
