Score Buttons

Score buttons let you update a score with a single tap. Configure the button values to match your scoring system so you can keep up with the action without typing.

Where to find them

Open your board in the editor at /boards/<slug>, then go to Customize board → Behavior → Scoring controls. That section controls which buttons appear next to each entry and how scores can be updated.

1

Open Scoring controls

In the board editor, click Customize board, switch to the Behavior tab, and open Scoring controls — it's the first section, and it's expanded by default.

Add or remove button values

Each button adds or subtracts a set value when tapped. Enter a number (positive or negative) to add a button, for example +1, +5, or +10. Use negative values like -1 for penalties or corrections. Click the remove icon on any value you don't need. Buttons appear in the order you add them, so keep the most-used values first.

Toggle showing the buttons

Use Show quick-score buttons to control whether the one-tap buttons appear next to each entry. Hide them if you prefer to type exact scores or update via the API.

Type an exact score any time

Click a score in the editor to type an exact value. That works whether or not the quick-score buttons are showing — handy when scores jump by irregular amounts, like entering a fundraising total instead of tapping +1 repeatedly. There is nothing to switch on.
💡

Common setups

  • +1 / -1 for simple point tallies and votes.
  • +5 / +10 (or larger) for sports where each play is worth several points.
  • +10 / +50 / +100 for fundraising and donation boards.
Keep the list short (2–4 values) to avoid clutter, and enable both the buttons and the set-score input together for maximum flexibility.
