Dashboard
Your school's command centre — see today's vitals, jump into common tasks, and catch recent announcements, all from one screen.
What you see when you log in
SchoolWise opens on the Dashboard every time you log in. The page is divided into four areas:
- Welcome strip — greets you by name and tells you what's happening today.
- Stat cards — five numbers that summarise the state of your school right now.
- Quick Actions — four shortcut buttons for the tasks you'll do most days.
- Activity panels — Recent Announcements, Upcoming Events, and Pending Staff Invites.
The five stat cards
Across the top of the dashboard you'll see five cards. Each one updates live as data changes in the app.
- Total Students — count of all students enrolled across every class and section.
- Total Staff — total staff added, with a sub-count showing how many have accepted their invite. If the two numbers differ, some invites are still pending.
- Today's Attendance — percentage of students marked Present today. Shows 0% until at least one class is marked.
- Fees Collected — total payments recorded this academic year.
- Fees Pending — total outstanding dues across all students. Shown in red when there are balances due.
Quick Actions
Below the stat cards are four buttons for the most common daily tasks. Click any of them to jump straight to that workflow — no need to navigate through the side menu.
- 1 Mark Attendance — Opens the Attendance screen where you can mark students Present, Absent, or Late for any class and date.
- 2 Add Student — Opens the student enrolment form so you can register a new student quickly.
- 3 Create Announcement — Takes you to the Announcements module to post a new notice to the whole school or specific classes.
- 4 Fee Defaulters — Opens the Fee Collection view pre-filtered to students who have an outstanding balance.
Activity panels
The lower part of the Dashboard shows three panels that give you context on recent and upcoming events at your school.
Recent Announcements
Displays the latest notices posted to the school. Announcements marked as Important appear with a red border and a star icon so they stand out. Each card shows the date posted and the audience (e.g. All School, a specific class).
Upcoming Events
Shows scheduled events such as exam dates, sports days, and holidays. Each event shows the date prominently so you can plan ahead at a glance.
Pending Staff Invites
Lists staff members who have been invited but have not yet accepted. Follow up with anyone shown here to ensure your team can access the app.
If a stat looks wrong
- Total Students shows 0 — No students have been enrolled yet. Go to Students in the side menu and click Enrol Student.
- Today's Attendance is 0% — No class has been marked today. Click Mark Attendance to start.
- Fees Collected is ₹0 — No payments have been recorded. Set up your fee structure first under Fees → Fee Structure, then record payments under Fees → Fee Collection.
- Total Staff shows fewer Accepted than expected — One or more staff members haven't accepted their invite. See Pending Staff Invites below the announcements and resend if needed.
