Leaderboards That Never Go Stale
Leaderboards, KPI tiles, gauges, and status grids over your Power Tables data, Recognition, or site engagement — live on home dashboards, break-room signage, and any TV with a browser.
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 saved view, Recognition activity, or site engagement — highest-first or lowest-first, so fewest safety incidents or shortest handle time can top the board too.
Show Who Needs Help
A status grid colours every site by its goal band — green, amber, red — and states the headline in words. A ranking tells you who is winning; a grid tells you where to go.
Set Goals With Three Bands
A target with an at-least or at-most direction, plus an optional warning threshold. Boards read on target / just off target / off target rather than pass / fail, and gauges draw it as an arc you can see across a floor.
Mask Names For Public Screens
Full names, first name plus last initial, or fully anonymized ranks — applied at one point in the pipeline, so every surface inherits the same policy. Store and site columns keep their real names.
Publish Everywhere
The same visualization renders on home dashboards, as a Digital Signage slide, full screen on any TV browser, in a named screen rotation, and — switched on one by one — as a read-only public embed outside MangoApps.
Let The Board Reach Out
Watch a stat, line or gauge and hear when it crosses its goal — and again when it recovers — once its author turns alerts on. Watchers get a Monday digest, and members who enter the top 3 can be notified.
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 a signage screen, which has no signed-in viewer, shows a visualization under the masking policy its author chose.
- Per-visualization masking policy — full names, first name plus last initial, or anonymized ranks, with a tenant-wide default.
- One enforcement point — the policy is applied once in the rendering pipeline, so every surface inherits it identically.
- People columns only — a board ranking stores or sites keeps their real names; nothing legitimate is mislabelled as anonymous.
- Audience groups — scope who sees a visualization inside MangoApps, where there is a viewer to evaluate.
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 and can be placed without leaving the app.
- Digital Signage — a publish switch on each visualization turns it into a signage slide.
- Present mode — a full-screen, self-refreshing page that turns any signed-in TV browser into a display, no signage player required.
- Screen rotations — a named, ordered set of visualizations on one public link, so the panel in the break room never has to sign in.
Live Data, With A Memory
A board reads its source live, and a nightly capture gives it a history — so displays show both where you are and how you got here.
- Four sources — a Power Tables saved view, Recognition activity, engagement by site, or coverage gaps by site; three of them need no data prep at all.
- Movement over time — deltas against a baseline you pick, per-row trend lines, and streak counts, all from the nightly capture.
- History you can export — 7, 30, 90, or 365-day windows with a standings card, downloadable as CSV.
- Source unavailable, never broken — a board whose binding stops resolving says so, and admins get the list with the reason.
Live Boards In Practice
A practical scope check: what the app covers, which controls matter, and the boards teams usually build first.
Core workflow
Build a board — pick a source, a chart type, a masking policy — preview it, then place it on dashboards and signage. On Power Tables boards, AI can draft a leaderboard from the table's name, description, and columns.
Controls that matter
Masking enforced at one point on every surface, audience groups on dashboards, contributor and admin tiers, and opt-in public links with an origin allowlist and one-click rotation.
Scope and specs
Useful specs: 13 chart types; up to 20 visualizations per screen rotation at 15–600 seconds each; signage shows the top 5 under each visualization's masking policy; 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.
Days since the last incident
A streak board counting up at the end of the corridor, with the longest run on record underneath — one very large number nobody has to maintain.
A shift at a glance
A scorecard holding units, revenue, safety, and handle time side by side, each against its own target — four numbers a leaderboard can't carry.
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 from your credit wallet, per active board per month — with no per-employee fee.
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 drops out of the next month's draw; restore it and it counts again. There is no monthly floor.
Connected To The Rest Of MangoApps
→ Power Tables
The general-purpose board source — the data lives there at database scale, the display renders here. Both apps are pay-as-you-go and admin-enabled.
→ Recognition
Point a board straight at recognition activity — points received, recognitions received or given — with no table to build first.
→ Digital Signage
A publish switch on each visualization turns it into a signage slide — no sign-in, top five, the visualization's masking policy always applied.
→ Inbox
Goal-crossing alerts, top-3 rank notifications, and the weekly digest for watchers all land through the platform notification stack.
Customer Success
How Teams Put Live Numbers On The Wall
Frequently Asked Questions
Only for Power-Tables-backed boards, which are the most common kind. A board can also read Recognition activity, per-site engagement, or per-site coverage gaps directly, with no table, view, or import — so a workspace with neither can still build boards. Each app meters independently.
Pay-as-you-go from your credit wallet, billed per active board per month. There is no per-seat charge and no floor. Archived boards are not billed — archive one and it drops out of the next month's draw; restore it and it counts again.
Every visualization carries a policy — full names, first name plus last initial, or fully anonymized ranks — with a tenant-wide default for new ones. It is enforced at one point in the rendering pipeline, so one that masks on the dashboard masks identically on the wall. Masking governs people columns only, so one ranking stores or sites keeps their real names.
Thirteen — ranked list, stat, table, chart, line, movers, gauge, status grid, share, streak, pace, scorecard, and calendar. Pie charts and charts over arbitrary columns are not available.
The board renders a "source unavailable" state instead of breaking or going blank, on every surface it was placed on. The admin Analytics tab lists every board in that state alongside what it was bound to and why the binding failed.
Two tiers. Contributors create, edit, duplicate, and preview boards; admins additionally hold app settings, archiving, signage publishing, and the public links that publish to the open web. Who sees a visualization inside MangoApps is set by an optional audience group; signage and embeds have no viewer at all, so one limited to an audience cannot be published there, and masking is what protects the ones that are.
Build a screen rotation — a named, ordered set of up to 20 visualizations with its own seconds-per-board setting — have an admin turn on its shared link, and paste that link into the panel's browser. Only visualizations that individually have external embed allowed appear in a public rotation, so a rotation is never a side door around that switch.
Yes, per visualization and off by default. An admin allowing external embed creates an unguessable link that renders it read-only with its masking applied and no login required. An optional allowlist restricts which sites may frame it, and rotating the link invalidates every one already shared.
A goal is a target value plus a direction — at least, or at most — with an optional warning threshold for a middle band. Values colour green, amber, or red with a progress bar, entries meeting the target get a Goal badge, and gauges draw the whole thing as an arc. It is display logic only; the underlying data is never filtered.
If its author switches the alert on — it is offered on stat, line, and gauge visualizations. It notifies when the value crosses its target and again when it recovers, reaching the person who added it, an optional group, and anyone watching it — on band changes only, so one that stays red does not re-notify. Separately, a Monday summary goes to everyone who watches a visualization — as a notification in the app, and by email too where they have an address — listing the ones they can open, watched ones first.
Yes — each visualization's history page exports its daily snapshot series to CSV over the window shown on screen, with windows of 7, 30, 90, or 365 days. A read-only REST API also returns boards, their current readings, and playlists; creating and editing boards still goes through the app.
Never a row of it. "Suggest with AI" drafts a leaderboard — chart type, entity and score columns, aggregate, and ordering — from the table's name and description, its column names and types, and whatever the author types in the box. It also never invents a numeric goal; a threshold only reaches the form if you typed that number yourself.
