Copy the Dataset ID from the list
Paste this ID into the Dataset ID configuration field. Don't forget to press Save and Enable.

Add additional parameters to the links already present in your email
Once the recipient opens the mail and (optionally) clicks the link, it will appear in your LeadBoard like this:
