## Reports

Organization **Reports** provide exportable tables beyond the summary dashboard. Open **Reports**
from your organization navigation and switch tabs:

| Tab                   | Contents                                                                 |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Sessions**          | Play sessions with timing and completion data                            |
| **Game Highscores**   | Top individual scores per game                                           |
| **Stream Scoreboard** | Team / social stream score contributions                                 |
| **Leads**             | Stream CTA submissions (name, email, phone, consent, and score when recorded) |

Filter by date range, game, or stream where available, then export to CSV. Large result sets may be
truncated — the UI shows how many rows were returned versus the total.

:::tip
When [Lead Capture](/streams/lead-capture/) collects a name on a highscore game, the lead row
includes the player’s score so you can rank or follow up on top performers without joining
separate highscore data.
