ASCENDER Homepage & Quick View Dashboard

Depending on your user profile, ASCENDER offers a Quick View dashboard that is used to display important information from multiple sources in one, easy-to-access place. Currently, the following dashboard elements are available for ASCENDER Enterprise users:
ASCENDER Homepage

  • ASCENDER News - (All users) Displays important announcements or upcoming events. The ASCENDER News is managed by the Texas Computer Cooperative (TCC).
    • Each news entry displays a topic and a description. An ellipsis (…) is displayed at the end of the description indicating that additional details are associated with the entry.
    • You can click anywhere on the news entry to open the corresponding pop-up window, which displays the full contents of the news entry. Click Close or to close the pop-up window.
    • If there are no news entries to display, a message is displayed prompting you to stay tuned for upcoming news.
  • LEA News - (All users) Displays important announcements or upcoming events directly from the LEA. The LEA News is managed by the local education agency (LEA) in District Administration.
    • Each news entry displays a topic and a description. An ellipsis (…) is displayed at the end of the description indicating that additional details are associated with the entry.
    • You can click anywhere on the news entry to open the corresponding pop-up window, which displays the full contents of the news entry. Click Close or to close the pop-up window.
    • If there are no news entries to display for the current date range or if you do not have permission to the application or breadcrumb (menu item) associated with the entry, the following message is displayed: “No news is good news”.
  • Daily Attendance by Campus - (XXX) Displays xxxx.
  • Daily Attendance Listing - (XXX users) Displays XXX.
  • Approval Summary - (XXX users) Displays XXX.
  • Online Registration - (XXX users) Displays XXX.


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 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.

Drag-and-Drop Feature

Use the drag-and-drop feature to define the placement of the dashboard element tiles.

  • Press and hold down the left mouse button on the desired element tile to “Grab” it.
  • “Drag” the element tile to the desired location.
  • “Drop” the element tile by releasing the mouse button.


Column x Row Layout Options

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.

Dashboard Column Row Options

  • 1×1 = 1 column x 1 row
  • 1×2 = 1 column x 2 row
  • 1×3 = 1 column x 3 row
  • 2×1 = 2 column x 1 row
