Reports and Leaderboards – Simplified

The Reports Section

The Reports section is where all your quiz data is stored.Here, you can:

• View reports from past games.
• Create leaderboards by combining data from multiple reports.
• Download reports in PDF or XLS format, or save them to Google Drive.

Live Games

• When you play a live game, a report is created automatically.
• This report is saved in the Reports section and can be downloaded immediately after the game ends.
• Important: You cannot name live reports, and a new report is created for every live game you play.

Games with Answer Collection

When you invite players to a game with answer collection, you have more control:

• You can create a new report or write to an existing report.
• The report is always tied to the quiz it belongs to.

Player Identification

You can choose how players identify themselves when they log in:

1. Feide Login: Players log in using their Feide account.
2. Whitelist: Players must use a name from a pre-approved list you’ve created.
3. Name: Players can log in with any name they choose.

• The system also records the device and date to distinguish responses if the same player participates multiple times.

Report Settings

When viewing or exporting a report, you can customize how the data is displayed:

• Show only one response per player.
• Decide whether multiple responses from the same device should be treated as one or multiple players.

Combined Leaderboards

Create a leaderboard that combines data from multiple reports:

• The leaderboard updates automatically as new responses are submitted.
• Ideal for quiz competitions that span several weeks.

Cross-Teacher Collaboration

• If you share reports with other teachers, you can combine data from multiple classes or schools to create larger competitions.

Sharing Reports

When you share a quiz for collaboration, you can also choose to share reports:

• All reports linked to the quiz will be available to those you share with.
• This allows you to collect data from multiple classes into a single report.

Ownership and Control

• The quiz owner has primary control over the reports.
• If collaboration ends, reports created by others for that quiz will no longer be visible to you. However, you’ll retain access to the reports you’ve created.
• Locking Reports: You can lock reports you’ve created to prevent others from writing to them.

Summary

• The Reports section keeps all your data organized.
• Live games automatically generate reports.
• Games with answer collection let you manage and customize your reports.
