# See how to make a sales leaderboard with one metric

How to make a sales leaderboard is one metric, a window, and large type you can read across the room. Knockdesk is field sales software for that board. This how-to sits on the guides hub. Ranks come from activity they logged. This page does not put a name on the board for you.

## Mistakes that make the board impossible to read

A board fails when the room cannot tell what won, or when the names were written in.

**Two metrics.** How to make a sales leaderboard starts with one metric. Knocks and deals on the same board is two contests.

**A link you email.** There is no public display link. Leave the signed-in Leaderboards page open. That is the large type in the room.

**Names you add by hand.** Ranks fill as people log activity. An empty window means nobody has scored yet. Do not invent a person to fill a row.

## The row is one score for that window

The leaderboard row is a rank, a person, and one score for the window you opened. Large type is that score, left on the display so the room can read it. An admin can filter all teams or one team.
