Leaderboard Block - How to show a list of donations, team fundraising pages and personal fundraising pages on your fundraiser

The Leaderboard block is available by default on all fundraisers, and can show a list of Donations, Team fundraising pages, and Personal fundraising pages depending on your required settings. This is a customizable and dynamic element of the fundraiser user interface, and can be used as a critical part of your online campaigns.

How to edit the Leaderboard block

To edit the Leaderboard block, follow the below steps:

• Go to your CrowdChange page and Log in

• Once on the fundraiser you would like to edit, click Manage fundraiser

• Once on the Fundraiser dashboard, click Design your fundraiser

• Scroll to the Leaderboard block, and click the Edit button

How to add a Leaderboard block

If your fundraiser is missing a leaderboard block, it is possible it was previously deleted. To restore or add a second leaderboard block, please follow these steps:

• Go to your CrowdChange page and Log in

• Once on the fundraiser you would like to edit, click Manage fundraiser

• Once on the Fundraiser dashboard, click Design your fundraiser

• Within the user interface, between any two blocks, click the Plus icon

Display options - how to show different leaderboards on Fundraiser, Team, and Personal Pages

The Leaderboard block can be shown, or hidden, on different areas of your fundraiser depending on your needs. Using the Display options function, you can decide if a leaderboard is visible on the main Fundraiser page, on a Team page, or on a Personal fundraising page. This functionality also allows you to have different leaderboards, with different settings, shown in these various places.

To adjust the Leaderboard block’s Display options, please follow these steps:

• Go to your CrowdChange page and Log in

• Once on the fundraiser you would like to edit, click Manage fundraiser

• Once on the Fundraiser dashboard, click Design your fundraiser

• Scroll to the Leaderboard block, and click the Edit button

• Click the Display options button

• You then can check off where you want this Leaderboard block to be featured

As multiple Leaderboard blocks can be added to a single fundraiser, this can allow you to have, for example, a list of Recent donations on the main fundraiser page, but a list of Top donations shown on Team or Personal fundraising pages.

Leaderboard block layout - how to adjust the order leaderboard elements are shown

By default, the Leaderboard block will show donations first, followed by Team fundraising pages, then Personal fundraising pages. This order, however, can be adjusted within the Leaderboard block’s edit functionality. To adjust this, please follow these steps:

• Go to your CrowdChange page and Log in

• Once on the fundraiser you would like to edit, click Manage fundraiser

• Once on the Fundraiser dashboard, click Design your fundraiser

• Scroll to the Leaderboard block, and click the Edit button

• Click the Pencil icon

• On the item you want to move, click the dots beside the Donations, Teams, or Personal pages and drag it to the desired new placement

• Once you are finished, click Save

Whichever option is listed first will be what is shown by default on your fundraiser publicly.

Setting up each tab of your Leaderboard block

Each element of the leaderboard block can be uniquely customized. To customize any of these elements, please follow these steps:

• Go to your CrowdChange page and Log in

• Once on the fundraiser you would like to edit, click Manage fundraiser

• Once on the Fundraiser dashboard, click Design your fundraiser

• Scroll to the Leaderboard block, and click the Edit button

• Click the Pencil icon

• On the element you would like to customize, click Set up

Additionally, any of these options can be hidden, if required, by toggling off the slider within each box.

Donations

Within the Donations section, you can adjust the following items:

• What information to show

  • Donation amount - Here you can set the leaderboard to show donation values (default setting), or to hide these amounts. If hidden, the list will only show the donor’s selected display name, but no donation value will be shown.

  • Comment - Here you can set whether or not optional comments made at the point of donation are shown (default settings) or hidden.

  • Icons - Here you can enable icons for various purchase options and types (Apparel purchase, Recurring donations, Ticket purchase, Sponsorship purchase, eCards purchase, and Registration purchase). These icons are pictured below.

• Date conditions - Here you can specify which transactions are shown using specific date periods.

Teams

• Title - This allows you to adjust what this tab of your Leaderboard block is called.

• Sorting - here you can select whether or not to show your donations by Top (highest value total page donations listed first), or Recent (most recently created Teams shown first)

Personal pages

• What information to show

Item display type settings

The Item display type settings allow you to decide how the various entries in your Leaderboard block are displayed. There are two options as to how this is displayed, each with their own settings.

• Standard - This is the default setting for the Leaderboard block. This is the standardized list of Donations, Teams, and Personal pages. You can select as few as one and as many as ten items to display on this list at a time. Please note that the View all button at the bottom of the leaderboard will always be available (unless manually turned off), so all donors, teams, and pages will still be accessible, even if your total number of these items exceeds your list options.

• Scrollable list - This option allows your leaderboard to be scrollable, allowing for a longer list, that takes up less room. The Auto-scroll animation option causes the leaderboard to automatically scroll through entries, injecting some dynamic animation into your fundraiser.

The View all button

The View all button allows users to browse entries within the leaderboard that fall outside of the settings assigned in the Item display type settings section. If you only want to show the options set in this area, you can uncheck the box beside the Show "View all" button option.

Appearance

You can adjust the colors of your Leaderboard block within the Appearance section. By default, the fundraiser’s theme settings are used here.

Content option - how to change the title of your Leaderboard block

The Content option allows you to change the title of your Leaderboard block. You can also change this by clicking the title within the user interface. If changes are made here, please ensure you click Save after the fact.
