Back to table of contents BEFORE YOU START Module A2

Dashboard

Purpose

The dashboard is your control room. It shows the most important numbers and shortcuts for your role — not everyone sees the same dashboard.

Who uses it

All logged-in users (content varies by role).

Depends on

  • Institution must exist and be selected
  • Active academic session should be configured
  • Data in other modules (students, invoices, etc.) fills the statistics

What you typically see

Role Example widgets
School Admin Total students, staff, enrollment, financial summary, timetables count
Teacher Class-related shortcuts, pending pickups, own timetable
Accountant Fees collected, outstanding balances, recent payments
Student / Parent Notices, marks link, own fees (where enabled)
Super Admin All schools overview, subscriptions, platform stats

Example story

The School Admin opens the dashboard on the first day of term and sees Enrollment: 420 but expects 450. She goes to Student Enrollments to find 30 students not yet placed in a class.

Common questions

Q: Numbers look wrong.

A: Check you selected the correct school (building icon) and the session 2025-2026 is marked as current.
