Leaderboard requires at least one colleague field and one numeric field in your collection.

Click the cog icon next to Leaderboard to set default fields and ranking direction for the collection:

Colleague field - the field to rank by.
Value fields - the fields to display as value columns. You can select up to five.
Rank field - the field used to rank colleagues.
Sort direction - Highest to lowest or Lowest to highest.

Click Save to apply your settings. These defaults apply whenever you open Leaderboard, but you can change the sort direction on the fly within the tool as well.
