How to create a leaderboard in Adalo?

Step 1: Create a Collection for User Scores

First things first, let's set up a collection called "Scores" to keep track of user scores. You'll need these properties:

  • User: This is a relationship property that links to the Users collection.
  • Score: A numeric property to store the actual score value.

Step 2: Set Up User Profiles

Make sure your Users collection has at least these fields:

  • Name: A text property for the user's name.
  • Total Score: A numeric property to store the user's cumulative score (this one's optional, but handy if you want to keep a running total).

Step 3: Create a Form to Submit Scores

Next, create a new screen for score submission. Add a Form component that will:

  • Use the "Scores" collection.
  • Include fields for user selection and score input.
  • Link the user to the score using a dropdown menu that references the Users collection.

Step 4: Create a Leaderboard Screen

Now, add a new screen named "Leaderboard" where you'll display the leaderboard.

Step 5: Add a List to the Leaderboard Screen

Add a "List" component to show items from either the "Users" collection with aggregated scores or directly from the "Scores" collection:

  • Set the list to sort by score in descending order so the highest scores show up at the top.

Step 6: Customize the List Appearance

Customize the List cells to show the necessary info:

  • User's name.
  • Score (if you're using the "Scores" collection) or the total score (if you're aggregating in the Users collection).

Step 7: Add Filters (Optional)

If you need to, add filters to the list to show scores based on specific criteria, like:

  • Date range.
  • User categories.

Step 8: Link Navigation

Add navigation links so users can easily access the leaderboard from other parts of the app. This could be a button or a navigation bar item.

Step 9: Test the Leaderboard

Finally, test the whole flow:

  • Submit scores via the form.
  • Check if they show up correctly on the leaderboard.
  • Make sure the sorting and filtering work as expected.
