My Workspace Sections
Custom:
This section includes user role-specific widgets, but all users will have Daily Calendar, Recent Search Results, Guides & Handbooks available by default.
See further below for more information on changing the order and selected widgets.
Quick Links:
This section will show configured Quick Links or Link folders depending on how the school has configured these.
Different user types can see different links and folders. The configuration of the links is only possible for admin level users on a school level in the Settings > School Settings > Quick Links page.
Tasks & Deadlines:
Tasks & Deadlines is a new widget for teachers and administrators, but has been available for students and parents already. Use the Upcoming/Past buttons to switch between future and past items.
Making this component available to all users make it easier to compare Dashboard views.
Weekly Calendar:
Use the View All button to view the full user Calendar. The Weekly Calendar will include items from all Classes, Groups, Year Groups the user has joined as well as any Personal Calendar items added.
Weekly Timetable:
The Weekly Timetable is available for schools with Attendance module enabled and Class Attendance configured. Use the View All or Weekly calendar view to look at different Timetable information beyond the weekly snapshot.
My Classes and Groups:
These section will display a list of classes and groups that you are assigned to for quick access. You will also have the ability to pin classes or groups to bring them to the top of the list. Please note, if you had classes or groups previously pinned on the left-hand menu, these will carry over.
Use the View All buttons to browse all Classes or Groups. Additional options for Classes and Groups are also available for each item in your My Classes/My Groups list.
Unit Calendar:
Admins and Teachers can enable the Unit Calendar widget via Dashboard Customisation. The widget allows you to view the Unit Calendar for any of your classes from the My Workspace page. You can select the different programmes and classes. Hovering over the info icon will reveal further Unit details.
Dashboard Customisation
Use the Customise Dashboard button at the top right of your My Workspace page to make changes to the widgets and order of items in your Dashboard.
Within the Customise Dashboard menu, rearrange available widgets in the Custom section.
Rearrange sections as you see fit or enable/disable those sections you do not need in your Dashboard. The widget and section options available have been tailored to suit the different user types: Admin, Teacher, Student or Parent.
