Leaderboards are scoreboards that assign points to users based on actions they take in your EveryoneSocial Workspace–actions such as following a user, connecting a network, and sharing posts. Not to mention they create some healthy competition.
This article describes how Leaderboards work, how you can view a Leaderboard, and how points are assigned.
🔹 This is available on all plans.
🔸 This is accessible to all roles and permission levels.
How it works
Admin will enable a Leaderboard and add you as part of the user Group (Segments) for you to view a Leaderboard. Once you’ve been added, you’ll be able to earn points for actions taken in EveryoneSocial, such as sharing and posting content and engaging with your team.

Let’s look at how the default Leaderboard works, and custom Leaderboards work.
Default rolling 30-day Leaderboard
The default Leaderboard is available on all plans and is the only option for a rolling 30-day Leaderboard. The 30-day Leaderboard is disabled by default and must be enabled by Admins for team members to start accumulating points.
Once enabled, the entire company is assigned to the Leaderboard, and team members gain points based on actions they take in the Workspace. Points are only assigned while the Leaderboard is enabled, and only team members who have earned points in the last 30 days are listed on the Leaderboard.
🔸 Note: Paid plans can edit the default rolling 30-day Leaderboard’s point values and change the Segments to specify who is part of the Leaderboard.
Custom Leaderboards
🔹 This is available on the Teams and Enterprise plans.
You may see other Leaderboards in your Workspace, which work similarly to the default rolling 30-day Leaderboard.
However, Leaderboards can be customized to:
- Include specific team members by assigning Segments.
- Change the scoring point values.
- Update the Leaderboard duration.
These Leaderboards will all be designed around a specific need and should have a description for the Leaderboard to indicate its purpose.
