Leaderboards That Never Go Stale
Live Boards turns the data you keep in Power Tables into always-current displays — ranked leaderboards, KPI stat tiles, tables, and bar charts that stay fresh on home dashboards, on Digital Signage screens in the break room, on any TV in full-screen Present mode, and on pages outside MangoApps. Update the data and every board follows.
What Live Boards Helps You Do
One board definition, every surface — with privacy controls built for screens anyone can walk past.
Rank The Leaderboard
Ranked top-N lists from a Power Tables saved view — highest-first or lowest-first, so fewest safety incidents or shortest handle time can top the board too.
Track KPIs As Stat Tiles
Stat tiles aggregate a numeric column — count, sum, average, min, max — with "vs last week" deltas powered by nightly board snapshots.
Set Goals
Give a board a target value with an at-least or at-most direction. Stat tiles turn green or red with a progress bar, and ranked entries that meet the goal earn a badge.
Mask Names For Public Screens
Full names, first name plus last initial, or fully anonymized ranks — applied on every surface a board renders, and enforced fail-closed so a misconfigured board hides identities rather than leaking them.
Publish Everywhere
The same board renders on home dashboards, as a Digital Signage slide, full screen in Present mode on any TV or kiosk browser, and — per-board opt-in — as a tokenized read-only embed outside MangoApps.
Notify The Climbers
Opt a board into nightly Inbox notifications when someone enters the top 3, and every signed-in member sees their own rank on people-ranked boards.
Three Reasons Boards Beat A Printed Poster
Why teams stop rebuilding weekly charts and let the display follow the data.
Built For Public Screens
Boards are designed for the break room, not just the private dashboard. Privacy is a first-class board setting, not an afterthought — and signage is anonymous by design.
- Per-board masking policy — full names, first name plus last initial, or anonymized ranks, with a tenant-wide default.
- Fail-closed enforcement — one rendering pipeline applies the policy on every surface; misconfiguration hides rather than leaks.
- Anonymous signage — screens have no viewer, show the top five, and always apply the board's masking.
- Audience groups — scope who sees a board on dashboards.
One Board, Every Surface
Author a board once and place it wherever people look — the definition, the masking policy, and the data stay consistent everywhere it renders.
- Home dashboards — boards render through the platform widget system, current on every load.
- Digital Signage — a per-board publish toggle turns any board into a signage slide.
- Present mode — a full-screen, self-refreshing page that turns any browser-capable TV or kiosk into a display, no signage player required.
- External embeds — a per-board opt-in tokenized link, read-only with masking applied; rotate the token and every shared URL stops working.
Bound To Live Data, Resilient By Default
A board binds to a Power Tables saved view, so the filter, sort, and columns you author in the data app define exactly what the display reflects — and boards degrade gracefully instead of breaking.
- Always current — every write in Power Tables bumps a version the displays key off; no manual refresh, no republish.
- Trend arrows — compare against a companion column, with a period label so viewers know the timeframe.
- Source unavailable, never broken — if a source table or view is archived, boards say so instead of rendering a broken widget.
- Drill-down — viewers with Power Tables access can jump from a board straight to its source view.
Live Boards In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the boards teams usually build first.
Core workflow
Admins build boards in a drawer — pick a Power Tables view, a board type, a masking policy — then publish to dashboards and signage.
Controls that matter
Name masking enforced fail-closed on every surface, audience groups on dashboards, opt-in external embeds with token rotation.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: 4 board types (ranked list, stat tile, table, bar chart); signage shows top 5, anonymous; Present mode refreshes every 2 minutes.
Break-room sales leaderboard
The week's top sellers on the signage screen, first name plus last initial, updating as imports land — no weekly poster to print.
Safety scoreboard where lowest wins
Locations ranked lowest-first on recorded incidents, with a trend arrow against last month — fewest incidents tops the board.
KPI tiles on the leadership dashboard
Units shipped, average handle time, open tickets — each tile aggregating a saved view, scoped to a leadership audience group.
PAY AS YOU GO
Priced Per Board, Not Per Viewer
Live Boards is available to every tenant and stays off until an admin enables it. No license decision, no per-seat negotiation.
Metered on active boards
Billing is pay-as-you-go per active board per year, with tiered prices that drop as you add boards.
No per-seat charge
A board on a signage screen the whole plant walks past costs the same as a board one manager checks — viewers are never a line item.
Archived boards cost nothing
Archive a board and it stops billing immediately; restore it and it counts again. There is no monthly floor.
Connected To The Rest Of MangoApps
→ Power Tables
Boards bind to Power Tables saved views — the data lives there at database scale, the display renders here. Both apps are pay-as-you-go and admin-enabled.
→ Digital Signage
A per-board publish toggle turns any board into a signage slide — anonymous, top five, masking always applied.
→ Home Dashboards
Boards render on employee home dashboards through the platform widget system, scoped to an optional audience group.
→ Inbox
Opt-in rank notifications land as nightly Inbox notifications when a member enters the top 3 on a people-ranked board.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Boards bind to Power Tables saved views — Power Tables owns the data, Live Boards owns the display. Both apps are pay-as-you-go and admin-enabled, and each meters independently — rows stored on the Power Tables side, active boards on the Live Boards side.
Pay-as-you-go per active board per year, with tiered prices that drop as you add boards. There is no per-seat charge and no floor. Archived boards are free — archive a board and it stops billing; restore it and it counts again.
Every board carries a masking policy — full names, first name plus last initial, or fully anonymized ranks — chosen when you build the board, with a tenant-wide default for new boards. The policy is enforced in one place in the rendering pipeline, so every surface inherits it, and enforcement fails closed — a misconfigured board hides identities rather than showing raw values.
The board renders a "Source unavailable" state instead of breaking or going blank — on dashboards and signage alike. Restore the source, or point the board at another view, and it comes back to life.
Boards are admin-created in the Live Boards app. Who sees a dashboard board is controlled by an optional audience group; signage has no viewer at all — screens are anonymous by design, show the top five, and always apply the board's masking policy.
Dashboard boards render current data on every load, signage screens pick up changes on their regular polling cycle, and Present mode refreshes itself every two minutes. Every write in Power Tables — an edit, an import — bumps a version the displays key off. There is no manual refresh step.
Yes — every board has a Present mode, a full-screen page at its own URL that refreshes itself every two minutes with a plain page refresh, so it survives on any browser-capable TV or kiosk. It is available to any member the board admits.
Yes, per board and opt-in. Enabling external embed generates an unguessable tokenized URL that renders the board read-only with its masking policy applied — no MangoApps login required, which is exactly why it is off by default. Rotating the token invalidates every previously shared link immediately.
Yes — alongside ranked lists, stat tiles, and tables, a board can render as a bar chart over its ranked entries, honoring the same masking policy as every other surface. Trend arrows and "vs last week" deltas cover direction over time.
Give a board an optional target value and a direction — at least (hit this number) or at most (stay under it). Stat tiles color green when the goal is met and red when it isn't, with a progress bar; ranked entries that meet the goal show a Goal badge; signage stat slides display the goal state too.
Only if the board opts in. On people-ranked boards with notifications enabled, a nightly check compares the board against the previous day's snapshot, and members who newly entered the top 3 get an Inbox notification. It is per-board and off by default. Separately, every signed-in member sees their own rank in the board's footer on dashboards and mobile.
Not yet — Power Tables saved views are the v1 source. The source layer is deliberately thin, so additional sources can arrive later without changing how boards work. If your data can land in a Power Tables CSV import, it can be a board today.
