Leaderboards

Leaderboards are used to add extra content to Channels, Channel tabs, and Video pages by adding a banner to them.

They have a cascading effect where each subsequent level overrides the previous level. The hierarchy is as follows:

  1. Channel
  2. Channel tab
  3. Video

The bottom of the list overrides the top, for example anything set on the video overrides the channel tab, and the channel tab overrides the channel.

Creating the Leaderboard

Each entity that has leaderboards (channels, channel tabs, and videos) will have a section when editing called Elements. This is where you will set up and configure your leaderboards.

To do this create a new leaderboard and give it a name; the name is the admin label for this Leaderboard and it would be good to include the channel or video name in this for better clarity.

Next you should add an image for the leaderboard. The dimensions and file type information for this can be found in the Brand Guidelines.

Optionally you can add a URL if you'd like this leaderboard to link to another page or website.

For external URLs

Make sure you include the https:// at the beginning if using an external URL.

To make your Leaderboard visible to any visitors on the site it needs to be published, to do this make sure you tick the checkbox marked published.
