Use the Individual & Team Leaderboards to manage challenge participants, measure engagement, and export user data.
Individual Leaderboard
The individual leaderboard is the default leaderboard. Every participant who joins the P4T Organization is visible. It updates regardless of whether there are active challenges or not.
Hover the cursor over a participant’s photo/name at any time to access their basic information. Click the Settings icon in the top right corner of the box to edit a user's name, view their Pacer ID, or remove them from the P4T Organization altogether.
Rankings
The default ranking is Today’s Total Steps. The leaderboard displays 10 participants at a time. Click the page scroll/page jump box at the bottom to find the next batch of participants.
Time Period Sorting
Admins have the ability to sort challenge data by various time parameters:
-
Today’s Total Steps
-
Yesterday’s Total Steps
-
Calendar Month Average Steps/Day (resets every month)
-
Custom
Data Display/Sort
The system defaults to Today’s Total Steps.
-
Admins can display Steps, Distance, Calories Burned for Today and Yesterday’s time sorting.
-
For Month to Date and Custom sorting, averages can be selected.
-
Click the arrow next to the current category being displayed and choose the measure you’d like.
How to Create Custom Sort Dates
-
In the Individual Leaderboard time sorting bar, click Custom.
-
A start date/end date range will automatically generate. Click anyone on the date range to open up the calendar.
-
Click the desired start date for your sort, which will become surrounded by a blue box.
-
Click the desired end date for your sort, which will become surrounded by a blue box.
-
The calendar will close and the selected date range will be valid. You are free to change the dates whenever you wish by repeating these steps.
Display Manually Added Data
Admins have the option to allow/disallow data that participants have added manually to their Pacer account for P4T challenges. The default setting is Off/No, meaning the system automatically filters out manually added activities.
If Allow Manual Data Entry is On, a column will appear in the leaderboard.
When you export a P4T data spreadsheet with manually added data allowed, the spreadsheet will create additional data tabs:
-
Total - the data recorded by the phone/wearable and the user’s manual data entries.
-
Recorded - data recorded by the user’s phone, or wearable.
-
Manually Added - user’s manual data entries.
Leaderboard Data Display Troubleshooting
If an Admin or participant notices her/his data is not accurate:
-
The participant should relaunch the Pacer app, enter the Pacer for Teams challenge, access the leaderboard, and drag down on the screen to force push the data to the Pacer Health servers.
-
Admins should refresh their browser, or close and re-open the P4T Admin platform.
-
If the issue persists use the Feedback portal in the Pacer app to directly contact Pacer Support.
Participant Last Updated Column
Admins can track participant engagement. The time displayed is the last time the participant launched the Pacer app and synced activity data with the Pacer servers.
Participants should launch Pacer at least once a day to ensure challenge leaderboards are up-to-date. After 3 days, the Pacer for Teams Admin system will display “More than 3 days” in the column. If this happens, it’s time to contact the participant and encourage them to launch the Pacer.
Individual Leaderboard Sorting by Team
If you’d like to see how participants in a team compare to each other, you can sort the Individual Leaderboard by using the team sorting feature.
-
The default setting is All Teams. Just under the green Export data button, click All Teams.
-
Select the appropriate team from the dropdown menu.
-
Click the Export data button to run a report on that particular team, or take a screenshot and share.
-
Choose All Teams from the dropdown box to reset the leaderboard.
Team Leaderboard
If teams have been created in the P4T Organization, the Team Leaderboard will be active and sortable and operates the same way as the Individual Leaderboard.
-
Any sorting filters applied to the Individual Leaderboard will not be automatically applied to the Team Leaderboard. Admins must choose sorting filters for the Team Leaderboard separately.
-
Team data in the export reports will generate based on the sorting criteria in the Individual Leaderboard. The Team Leaderboard sorting is for visual purposes only.
If Manually Added Data is allowed, the column will appear on the right side of the leaderboard.
Data Export Report
Data downloaded from the individual leaderboard area will include teams data.
