The Good Grants leaderboard provides a bird’s-eye view of your program’s reviewing results. It is the primary place for examining scores, decisions, and outcomes across reviewing stages.
You can access the leaderboard from the Manage workspace by navigating to Reviewing > Leaderboard.
What does the leaderboard include?
By default, the leaderboard displays a list of applications showing:
- Application ID and name
- Chapter and category
- Reviewer progress for the selected score set
- Results ordered from highest to lowest score, votes, or decisions
Depending on the reviewing mode used, an additional column is shown, such as:
- Score for Scoring
- Consensus for Qualifying
- Votes for Voting
You can customise the view by selecting the cog icon and adding extra columns. For more on filtering and searching, see How to search and filter.
How is the leaderboard typically used?
The leaderboard is most commonly used to identify shortlisted applications, finalists, or winners, and to progress applications to subsequent reviewing stages.
Applications are ordered by default from highest to lowest result. You can reorder results by selecting a column heading.
Because Good Grants does not enforce fixed reviewing outcomes, you decide how results are interpreted. Tags are then applied to applications to record outcomes and drive next steps, such as:
- Progressing applications to another reviewing stage
- Awarding badges, certificates, or documents
- Controlling which applications appear in galleries
Progress applications to another stage of reviewing
- In the Manage workspace, navigate to Reviewing > Leaderboard
- Select the checkboxes next to the applications you want to progress
- Select Tag
- Enter the tag you want to apply
- Select Tag
- Navigate to Reviewing > Settings > Panels
- Create a new panel
- In the 'Applications' section, select the tag you just applied
- Configure the remaining panel settings
- Select Save
For detailed guidance, see Moving applications between reviewing stages and selecting winners.
How do I know the results are accurate?
Changes to reviewing panels or scoring criteria can temporarily cause discrepancies in the leaderboard. When this happens, you can recalculate results using the button at the bottom of the page.
The label of the button depends on the reviewing mode:
- Recalculate decisions for Qualifying mode
- Recalculate picks for Top pick mode
- Recalculate scores for Scoring mode
- Recalculate votes for Voting
For more information, see Leaderboard showing incorrect scores/decisions.
Can I see a granular breakdown of reviewer scores/decisions?
Yes. Select an application's name or ID from the leaderboard to open the manager’s view of the application. The 'Review' tab displays a matrix showing individual reviewer scores or decisions.
In Scoring mode, scores in progress are marked with the letter P.
Can other users see the leaderboard?
You can grant leaderboard access to roles other than grant managers by updating role permissions.
- In the Manage workspace, navigate to Settings > Users > Roles
- Select an existing role or create a new one
- Select Advanced
- Set Chapters Create and View to Allow
- Set Applications (others) View to Allow
- Set Scores (others) View to Allow
- Select Save
Users with this role will then see Reviewing > Leaderboard in their navigation.
Can I hide applications from the leaderboard?
Yes. Applications can be archived to remove them from active views while keeping the data intact. This is useful for decluttering the leaderboard once outcomes are final.
To learn more, see Archiving applications.
Good to know
- The leaderboard is not restricted by reviewing panels or assignments. Users with leaderboard access can see results for all applications.
- Granting leaderboard access also provides access to the Applications page in the Manage workspace.
- Archived applications can still be included in reviewing if configured to do so.
