# Switch On Team Activity and the Weekly Leaderboard

> Count your team's work in Hiveku as points, choose who sees the leaderboard, and send an end-of-week email with the leaderboard and badges

**Team activity** turns the work your team does in Hiveku into points: emails sent, calls answered, tasks finished, deals moved. It shows who's been busy this week, who went quiet, and a leaderboard with badges, plus an email at the end of each week. It's off until an owner or admin switches it on.

This guide shows team activity on Locus Digital, a marketing agency that uses it. Teammates' names and photos are hidden in the pictures.

## Switch it on

**1. Open Team activity**

Click **Settings** at the bottom of the left rail, then **Team activity**.

**2. Switch on Count team activity**

Switch on **Count team activity**. Before anything is counted, Hiveku shows you what your team will be told and sends them a notice: what is counted, and that only the numbers are kept, never what anyone writes or says, the pages they open, or the time of day.

![Count team activity, switched on, outlined: your team was told on Oct 11 (15 people) what is counted, and that team activity keeps only the numbers; What counts, and for how much: Signed in 1, An hour active in Hiveku 1, Email sent 2, Call made or answered 2; and Who sees the leaderboard, outlined, with Everyone sees the top three and the badges chosen](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/pzfdHzyWBEC_UOZf/images/how-tos/account/ta-01-settings-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=pzfdHzyWBEC_UOZf\&q=85\&s=357c49d7933af05a2a7fdd1cca7662ac)

Counting on, and who sees the board

Changes on this page save on their own.

## Choose what counts

Under **What counts, and for how much**, set the points for each kind of work. Being signed in earns less than doing something, and **0** means it isn't counted. Each kind counts at most a set number of times a day, so a big email send doesn't fill someone's day.

**Leave out** is for people who work mostly outside Hiveku: nothing of theirs is counted, and the board says so. **Departments** decides whose department total each person counts toward.

## Choose who sees the leaderboard

Everyone always sees their own place and points. Under **Who sees the leaderboard**, choose how much the rest of the team sees:

* **Everyone sees the top three and the badges** (recommended): owners and admins see the whole list.
* **Only owners and admins**: everyone else sees only their own place.
* **Everyone sees the whole list**: the people at the bottom are shown to their colleagues.

Showing the board to more people tells the team first.

## Send the end-of-week email

Under **End-of-week email**, switch on **Send the end-of-week email** and pick the **Day** and **Time**. It has the leaderboard, the badges and who went quiet. Owners and admins get it; **Add an address** sends it to someone else, and your team is told who gets it.

![End-of-week email: Send the end-of-week email, switched on, outlined; Day Monday and Time 8:00 am; Owners and admins, on, with their names hidden; and Also send it to, Add an address](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/pzfdHzyWBEC_UOZf/images/how-tos/account/ta-02-weekly-email-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=pzfdHzyWBEC_UOZf\&q=85\&s=f45e958eaa1f66ee468430ec1249f682)

Monday at 8 am

## See the activity

Add the **Team activity** widget to a dashboard (see [Make Your Own Dashboard and Share It](https://docs.hiveku.com/how-tos/account/make-a-dashboard.md)). It shows one square per person per day, darker on busier days, this week's points, and who has gone quiet. The same widget can show the leaderboard instead.

![Team activity: one square per person per day, a paler square is a quieter day, 15 people counted; rows of squares from Aug 31 to this week, names hidden, with No usual pace yet and this week's points 92, 68, 48 and 31](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/pzfdHzyWBEC_UOZf/images/how-tos/account/ta-03-board-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=pzfdHzyWBEC_UOZf\&q=85\&s=38d67758061dcf17351a52dd1dba38ca)

## Good to know

* **Switch it off** at any time with **Count team activity**. Nothing more is counted.
* **Work done through AI counts** for the person who asked for it, in a Hiveku chat or from VS Code, Claude or Codex.
