New Features
School Dashboard
On the School > Dashboard screen, view the Configurable Dashboard to access the most important information at a glance—no need to run a report! The Dashboard features 15 widgets, including 12 Tiles and 3 Charts, consolidating data from key areas such as Enrollment, Attendance, Demographics, Contacts, Households, Grades, Incidents, and Approval Centers. Each Tile and Chart can be tailored to your preferences and expanded to reveal detailed insights. The Widget Type defines the data and search parameters. Student searches can be limited to a specific View or Grade Level(s), while staff searches can be filtered by Type (e.g., Teaching vs. Non-Teaching). Simply click on any Tile or Chart to view the details in a table format, which can be printed or exported for further use. Click and hold on a tile or chart to drag it to a new location.
Manage Dashboard: List of Tiles
Under School > Dashboard > Manage Dashboard, the List of Tiles displayed on your Dashboard are fully customizable. You can edit their order, title, color, and content to suit your needs. For example, on Tiles with a date range, you can switch from viewing Today to Year-To-Date data. Additionally, the Library offers a variety of pre-built Tiles to choose from. You can also create and add New Tiles to your Library by selecting a widget type and configuring the settings to match your preferences.
The availability of Tiles, Charts, and Library items is determined by the user’s access rights. If a user lacks permissions for a specific module, the corresponding Tiles or Charts will not appear. Additionally, they will receive a warning message if they attempt to create a chart for a module, they do not have access to.
