The challenge leaderboard is your real-time view into how employees are performing in an active or completed challenge. You can view score rankings, step counts, team standings, filter by department, search for specific employees, export data as CSV, and drill into per-user score breakdowns.
Accessing the Leaderboard
- Log in to the Vantage Fit Admin Dashboard.
- Go to Challenges in the sidebar.
- Find the challenge you want to view (from the Ongoing or Completed tab).
- Click Manage to open the Manage Challenge page.
- Navigate to the Leaderboard section.
Leaderboard Views
The leaderboard offers multiple views depending on what you want to see:
Score Leaderboard
The default view. Ranks all participants by their total points earned across all tasks and weeks.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Rank | Position based on total score |
| Employee name | Participant's name and profile |
| Score | Total points earned |
| Department | Employee's department |
Steps Leaderboard
Ranks participants by total step count during the challenge period. Useful for understanding physical activity levels independent of other task types.
Team Leaderboard
If teams are enabled, this view ranks teams by average score. Each team entry shows:
- Team name and image.
- Team score (average of members' scores).
- Number of members.
- Click to expand and see individual member scores within the team.
Filtering and Searching
Filter by Department
Use the department filter to narrow the leaderboard to a specific department. This is useful when:
- You want to compare engagement across departments.
- A department head asks for their team's standings.
- You are running a company-wide challenge but want department-level insights.
Search by Name
Use the search bar to find a specific employee. Type their name or email to jump directly to their row in the leaderboard.
Pagination
For challenges with many participants, the leaderboard is paginated. Navigate between pages to view all participants.
Score Breakdown Per User
The most powerful feature of the admin leaderboard is the detailed score breakdown:
- Click on any employee's row in the leaderboard.
- A detail panel opens showing:
- Per-task breakdown — how many points the employee earned from each task (steps, water, meditation, etc.).
- Per-week breakdown — for multi-week Custom challenges, see performance week by week.
- Step count — total steps taken during the challenge.
- Task completion status — which tasks were completed, partially completed, or missed.
This breakdown is invaluable for understanding not just who is winning, but how they are winning — and who might need encouragement on specific tasks.
Tip: Use the per-task breakdown to identify which tasks are popular and which are being ignored. If most employees complete the steps task but skip the meditation task, your targets or task selection may need adjustment in the next challenge.
Exporting as CSV
Export the leaderboard data for offline analysis, reporting, or prize distribution:
- Click the Export CSV button on the leaderboard page.
- The CSV file downloads to your browser.
The exported CSV includes:
- Employee name and email.
- Department and country.
- Total score and rank.
- Total step count.
- Per-task scores (for Custom challenges).
- Team name (if applicable).
Tip: Always export the final leaderboard CSV before distributing prizes. This gives you a permanent record of the results and serves as documentation for your rewards process.
Best Practices
- Check the leaderboard midway through the challenge. A quick mid-challenge check helps you identify engagement issues early. If participation is dropping, send a notification or highlight top performers.
- Use the department filter for targeted comms. If one department is lagging, send them a targeted encouragement message.
- Export before challenge end. For large challenges, export the leaderboard a day before the end date as a backup, then export the final version after the buffer period.
- Share leaderboard highlights. Post top 10 rankings in company Slack channels or newsletters (with employee consent) to celebrate effort and drive friendly competition.
- Review score breakdowns for challenge design insights. After a challenge ends, look at the per-task breakdown data to understand what worked and what did not. Use these insights to design better challenges next time.
