Depending on your user profile, ASCENDER offers a dashboard that is used to display important information from multiple sources in one, easy-to-access place. Currently, the following dashboard elements are available:
All ASCENDER users created in Security Administration are automatically granted permission to view all dashboard elements. However, the content within the dashboard element is driven by your user profile (Profile Name) in Security Administration with the exception of ASCENDER News, which is available to all users. The LEA News may be limited to certain users based on the LEA's preferences when adding the news entry in District Administration.
Each dashboard element tile is enabled with the drag-and-drop feature along with row x column layout options to allow you to customize the layout of your dashboard elements. Your selected layout preferences are automatically saved upon logging out of the software.
Use the drag-and-drop feature to define the placement of the dashboard element tiles.
Use the following layout options located at the top of each dashboard element tile to adjust the size (column = width and row = height) of the element tile. To view these options, use your mouse to hover over the top-right corner of the element.
Below is just one example of the many dashboard formats available using the drag-and-drop feature and the column x row layout options:
If you do not want an element displayed on your dashboard, you have the ability to move it out of view to the Quick View or QV column, which is the gray column located along the right side of the page.
Below is an example of the Online Registration element tile being deleted from the main dashboard view and moved to the Quick View.
NOTE: At any point, you can use the drag-and-drop feature to move elements from the Quick View back to the main dashboard view.
If you have approval responsibilities in ASCENDER, the Online Registration is displayed on the ASCENDER homepage with a list of your approval types.
# Pending | Displays the number of pending approval items for the corresponding approval type. |
---|---|
Campus | Displays the campus tied to the pending item, if applicable. |
