How to Use the Developer Leaderboard
The devActivity Developer Leaderboard provides a dynamic view of contributor performance and progression. This guide will walk you through accessing, filtering, and understanding the data presented on the Leaderboard.
Accessing the Developer Leaderboard
- Navigate to Rewards: From the devActivity.com top-level navigation, click on 'Rewards'.
- Select Leaderboard: In the 'Rewards' sub-menu, click on 'Leaderboard'. The page will load with a default view of all organizational contributors.
Filtering the Leaderboard View
To refine the list of contributors displayed, use the filter dropdowns:
- Filter by Team: Use the 'Team' dropdown menu (e.g., currently displaying 'Demo team 2') to select a specific team whose members you wish to view on the leaderboard.
- Filter by Contributor Type: Use the 'Type (Org or External)' dropdown menu (e.g., currently displaying 'Org Contributors') to filter contributors based on their organizational affiliation (internal or external).
Understanding and Sorting Leaderboard Data
The main display is a dynamic table listing contributors with the following sortable columns:
- Review Contributor Details: Each row details a developer's name, avatar, join date, the number of achievements, total XP earned, their current level (in a green box), and a progress bar showing XP to the next level.
- Sort Columns: Click on any column header (e.g., 'NAME', 'XP EARNED', 'LEVEL') to sort the contributors by that specific metric in ascending or descending order. This helps you quickly identify top performers or track specific trends.
Navigating Pages and Exporting Data
- Use Pagination: If there are more contributors than can fit on one page, use the pagination control (e.g., 'Showing 1 to 6 of 7', 'Next' button) at the bottom of the table to navigate through additional pages.
- Download Data: Click the download icon button, typically located near the pagination, to export the current Leaderboard data for offline analysis or reporting.
