School Dashboard: What It Shows and Can You Customise It

It shows today's income, expenses, net balance, attendance, admissions, leavers, defaulters and staff attendance, per campus or combined. Choosing individual widgets is not a documented option; campus selection is.

What does the school dashboard show an owner?

The web dashboard and the Owner App give the owner or principal a daily picture of the school without opening separate reports. The figures are for today, so the dashboard suits a morning check or a quick look between meetings.

You can see the numbers for one campus or for all campuses combined.

  • Today's income, expenses and net balance (the Daily P&L)
  • Attendance percentage
  • New admissions and leavers
  • Fee defaulters
  • Staff attendance
  • Access to every report card from the same place

Can I choose which widgets appear on the dashboard?

The documented control is campus selection. You can switch to one campus or view all campuses together. A per-owner widget picker, where you hide or rearrange individual tiles, is not described as a feature, so we do not promise one.

If you need a particular arrangement, ask the EDUBase team before you decide. Custom development exists for institutions whose requirements go beyond the standard screens, and the team can tell you what is possible.

How do I narrow the view to one campus?

Multi-campus schools and school groups can use campus selection on the dashboard and in the Owner App to switch campus or view all. Owners see all campuses.

Other staff see only the campuses granted to them, because user rights are scoped by campus.

Which reports sit behind the dashboard numbers?

The dashboard is a summary. Behind it are report hubs for students, employees and finances, so you can go from a number to the detail.

These hubs include absentees, defaulters, admissions, inactive students, staff attendance, salary, monthly P&L and the cash report.

  • Student report hub: absentees, defaulters, admissions, inactive students
  • Employee report hub: staff attendance and salary
  • Financial report hub: monthly P&L and cash report
  • Fee Reports & Defaulters for collection detail by class, family or month

What can I do from the Owner App besides viewing numbers?

The Owner App is a free Android app. It carries the same daily picture and lets you act on pending decisions from your phone.

Approvals are the main difference from a read-only view.

  • Approve advance salary, increments and salary plans
  • Approve student leave, employee leave and diary approvals
  • Post announcements that reach the Parents App
  • Oversee messages across campuses
  • See the school's EDUBase subscription and how many parents use the app

Who else can see the dashboard figures?

Access is controlled through users and privileges. Rights are granted per user, per screen and per action, and can be given individually or by role. A staff member who should not see financial figures need not be given that screen.

The User Logging page records who created, changed or deleted records, and a daily summary of important changes reaches the owner.
