Leaderboard

The Leaderboard improves adding more ways to incentivize users to engage with event content through gamification.

Features:

The following features have been added, both in the desktop experience and in the apps:

1. A more visually appealing Leaderboard with rankings highlighting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place users.
2. Attendees can track their scores by viewing a breakdown of their activities and associated points.
3. A customizable Rules and Prizes section for explaining the game and incentivizing participation by specifying rewards/gifts for top scorers.

The Leaderboard will display a ranking based on the points users gain by participating in certain activities. Admins can select a set of user activates that will score points, and define how many points each is worth. Currently, the following actions can be configured to award users points:

• Receiving Likes on Timeline posts
  • The number of Likes are converted into and displayed as points.
• Checking in to sessions
  • How to utilize Virtual Session Check-In and printing QR codes for Sessions
• Checking in to an exhibitor booth/stand by scanning QR codes
  • How to print QR codes for Exhibitors
• Being scanned as a lead by an exhibitor
  • How to enable Exhibitor lead scanning
• Exchanging digital business cards
  • Details on digital business card exchange

How to Set Up the Game

The Leaderboard requires that Social Networking features are enabled:

• Edit Event > Social Networking tab > Check box for "Enable social networking functionality"

The new gamification features are configured from a new tab on the Edit Event form in the Backoffice:

• Edit Event > Gamification tab > Check box for " Enable gamification"

The Gamification options consist of the following:

• Selecting the set of user activities that will score points, and how many points each is worth:
  • The user activities with check marks are enabled. They can be disabled by clicking to remove the check mark
  • The weight of each activity (how many points they are worth) can be edited

• Rules and Prizes
  • Enter the title and the description in the Rules and the Prizes fields. If no content is entered, default texts will appear in the apps.
• Optionally setting an end date for the game
  • The latest that this can be set is 16 weeks past the end date of the event, which is also when the game will end:

• Choosing zero or more event roles that make a participant ineligible for the game
  • Users with these roles will not appear on the Leaderboard
  • Ineligible roles can be selected from a dropdown list
