Dashboard

Your home screen. It walks you through setting up your school, shows today's numbers and the month's fee collection, flags locked parent logins, and lists who is absent so you can message their parents.

What you see when you log in

The app opens on the Dashboard. From top to bottom you'll see:

A sample data banner, while the sample school that comes with the app is still loaded.
Set up your school: a ten-step checklist, shown until every step is done.
Five stat cards: students, staff, today's attendance and fees.
Quick actions for the jobs you do every day.
Fee Collection Splits, Locked parent logins, Admissions Funnel and Parent App Adoption.
Recent Announcements and Absent Today.

The first time you open the app, a short welcome form asks for your school name, your name, a mobile number and the modules you need. Fill it in to continue.

Sample data and starting fresh

A new app comes loaded with a sample school, so every page shows what it looks like in use. While it's there, the Dashboard shows a banner: You're looking at sample data for <sample school>. Explore it, then clear it to set up your own school.

1Click Clear sample data on the banner.
2Read what will be removed, type CLEAR in the box, and click Clear sample data.

This deletes every sample record: students, parents, staff, classes, subjects, fee types, dues, receipts, attendance, exams, marks, timetable and announcements. Anything you added yourself stays, and so do your own login and staff record. The sample school's name, address, phone, email, logo and UDISE code are blanked, and receipt numbers restart at 1.

This can't be undone. There's no way to bring the sample data back, so explore first. Then fill in your own details in School Settings.

Set up your school

The checklist card shows your progress, for example 8 of 10 done. Each step has a button that opens the right page: Start for a step still to do, Review for one that is done. Once all ten are done, the card disappears.

Step	Opens	Ticks when
Classes added	Classes	The school has at least one class-section.
Staff added	Team Management	The school has at least one staff member.
Students imported	Import Students	The school has at least one student.
Attendance marked	Attendance Entry	Attendance has been saved.
Message sent	Attendance Entry	A message has gone to a parent: an absence message, an announcement, or any message in the Message Log.
Receipt issued	Fee Management	A fee has been collected.
Connect Razorpay	School Settings	The Razorpay key and secret are saved. See Fee Reminders & Online Payments.

Parent invites sent	Student Directory	At least one parent has been invited to the Parent App.
Choose report card template	School Settings	A report card template is chosen.

The sample school counts too, so while it is loaded most steps already show as done. When you clear the sample data, the checklist starts again from your own records.

The five stat cards

Click any card to open the page behind it.

Card	What it shows	Opens
Students	Number of students in the school.	Student Directory
Staff	Number of staff records.	Team Management
Today's Attendance	Students marked Present today, as a percentage of all students.	Attendance Entry
Fees (month)	Fees received this month, e.g. Fees (November) ₹38,500.	Fee Management
Fees Overdue	Unpaid balance on dues whose due date has passed.	Fee Management

Tip: Today's Attendance counts every student in the school. It stays low until every class has been marked for the day.

Quick actions

Mark Attendance opens Attendance Entry, Add Student opens the Student Directory, Collect Fee opens Fee Management and Announcements opens Communications.

Locked parent logins: parents locked out after wrong PINs, with Re-invite to unlock. See Parent App.

Recent Announcements and Absent Today

Recent Announcements lists the newest notices with their date and audience. Click View all announcements to open Communications.

Absent Today lists every student marked Absent today with their class. Click WhatsApp on a row to open a chat with that student's parent, with the absence message already typed. If attendance hasn't been marked yet, or nobody is absent, the panel says so.

If a number looks wrong

Students shows 0: import or add students from the Student Directory.
Today's Attendance is 0%: no class has been marked today. Click Mark Attendance.
Fees Overdue is ₹0 but parents owe money: dues only count as overdue once you've generated them and the due date has passed. See Fee Management.
