Configure a Leaderboard

• 1) Metric: Select a single Metric from your organization (ex: Activity Score, Calls, Revenue, etc.).

• 2) Group Type: Select an entity type from your organization to rank by.
  • User will provide a ranked list of individual employees (screenshot below).
  • Location will provide a ranked list of group locations (1st place = Chicago. 2nd place = Atlanta. 3rd place = Chattanooga. etc.)
  • Role will provide a ranked list of role types (1st place = Sr. Account Executives. 2nd place = Business Development Reps. etc.)

• 3) Time Frame: Select from Today, This Week, This Month, or Custom to pick your dates from a calendar picker.

• 4) Filter for users within specific groups: If User is selected for the Group Type, an optional filter will be displayed to only rank users with certain groups.
  • For example: Only rank users within the Chattanooga or Atlanta offices.

Show Preview

The Show Preview button at the top of the modal will reflect the filter selections.

The generate Preview shows exactly what will be shared in the public Slack channel upon submission. Click the Back button to complete the slash command's form.

Share a Leaderboard to a Slack Channel
