What is a leaderboard panel?

A leaderboard panel is a panel that allows you to display several columns of information alongside each other so that you get a visual summary of any call information that interests you. Leader board panels are completely customisable and can show any combination of columns types. The background, font type, size, colour and placement are also customisable. Some examples are shown below:

The leaderboard panel allows you to display columns of call data comprising of call information you wish to monitor. The information showing in the leaderboard will update live, as soon as a call has logged in the system. The content of each column displayed is determined solely by your selection and the leaderboard can show any combination of columns types. The background, font type, size, colour and placement are also customisable.

The example below shows the following columns: the total number of calls, inbound, outbound, lost calls, duration of inbound, duration of outbound, total duration of calls and is ordered by total number of calls per user:

Adding Leaderboard headers

The default header for the columns in the Leaderboard panel is Arial, 16 point in white. However, you can change all the setting of the Leaderboard headers, that are similar to the Panel title ones. Click on the drop-down list alongside any of the properties to change.


Content

To add content to any leaderboard, select the Content tab.

First, you will need to select the stats point you wish to use, by clicking on the Find button, as shown below:


Next, you need to drill-down until you find the stats point you want to use, then click on the  button alongside it to select it, as shown below:


This will now appear as your chosen stats point. Next, you will need to decide what you would like to show on the leaderboard. To do this, work through the drop-down lists provided, and select the Call type and relevant Column to populate the panel.


Once you select the Call type and relevant Column fields, press the Add button to add the column to the list, as shown below. Just repeat the same process to add as many columns as you like, according to your needs.


In the example below, we have selected the following settings for the Call type and its Column to form the columns that appear in the list:

  • Pos: select Call type as 'All' and Column as 'Position'
  • Name: select Call type as 'All' and Column as 'Name'
  • Total: select Call type as 'All' and Column as 'Count'
  • In: select Call type as 'Answered' and Column as 'Count'
