Leaderboards work only with quiz slide types: Pick Answer, Short Answer, Match Pairs, Correct Order, and Categorize. They do not work with Poll slides.
The Leaderboard slide
On the presenter screen
When you add a quiz slide (except the Spinner Wheel), AhaSlides automatically creates a leaderboard slide and places it after the quiz slide. If you do not see a leaderboard, you may have added a Poll slide instead of a quiz slide type.
On the audience screen
The leaderboard is also viewable on the audience’s mobile devices. Every quiz player can see their own position in the table and can scroll up and down to reveal all positions on the leaderboard.
The pop-up Leaderboard
The pop-up leaderboard lets a presenter check live scores at any point during a presentation. Press L on the keyboard, or click the Trophy icon in the control bar, to open it. When you open the pop-up leaderboard, the audience screens stay unchanged. The leaderboard slides placed in your presentation still display as usual when they appear in the presentation flow.The pop-up leaderboard always displays the final scores accumulated from all completed quizzes, regardless of when or where you open it.
Removing past participants from the leaderboard
The leaderboard keeps the names and scores of everyone who has played until you clear the presentation’s results. If you reuse the same quiz with a new audience, the previous players will keep showing up alongside the new ones. To remove past participants, reset the results of the presentation. This erases all participant submissions, including the leaderboard scores, and returns the quiz to its pre-audience state so only your next audience appears. Your questions, answers, and slides are not affected. You can reset the results for the whole presentation or for a single slide. For the exact steps, see Resetting the Results.Each reset starts a new session in your report, so the earlier players’ scores are still saved in Your AhaSlides Presentation Report even after they leave the live leaderboard.
