Welcome to the new look of Akada—a new look but still the same software with which you’re familiar with new options. We have created a new, customizable dashboard that allows you to keep the information that is important to you on your home screen. Let’s look at the new Dashboard and explain what each section means.
Today’s Classes: This section provides an overview of classes based on the day you log in. By changing the class date, you can review upcoming and past classes.
Using the arrow to the right of each class, you can view the roster, enter attendance (more on this as you read further), send a message, and quickly go to the Class Information page. You can view classes by selected teachers or set the view for all teachers and see all the classes scheduled for a specific day.
Aging A/R: This section summarizes your accounts receivables, providing information usually found in your financial reports. Now, you can view it readily available any time you need it.
Click on the total balance amount to view the individual accounts and their balance due. Once on the pop-up screen, you can go navigate to any account transaction screen by selecting the arrow to the right of the account’s name.
Multiple Student Absences: This section allows you to view students with multiple absences. Use the dropdown menus to set the timeframe and number of absences, and the results will automatically update.
Missing Teacher Attendance: If your studio has an issue with teachers failing to enter attendance, Akada has developed an easy way for you to see who has missed entering their attendance. You can also enter attendance for those missing teachers by clicking on the purple arrow on the right side of the class.
Partnered with the Akada Express Attendance app, these tools should significantly reduce administrative time and costs.
Current Enrollment: This feature clearly and concisely shows how many spaces are available for each class.
By clicking on the number of spaces on the right, you can see the class details and, if needed, quickly access it.
Waitlisted Students: Not only can you see Enrollment from the Dashboard, but you can also view which students
Using the arrow on the right, you can enroll and view the student and/or the class.
Historical Enrollment: This feature allows you to see how enrollment is going. You can adjust the Display option and Enrollment date to determine how many students were enrolled in each class.
After you have selected your Filter and enrollment date, click the Day on the left to get the Historical Enrollment pop-up. Use the arrows on the right to view details and/or go to the class.
How to Setup Your Dashboard: Now that we understand what each section of the dashboard does and how it works, you’re ready to customize your Dashboard. Click on the gear icon at the top of the Dashboard to the right.
On the Dashboard Settings pop-up, select the features you want on your Dashboard. For features that you would like, select whether you want the option to be open or collapsed when first viewed. You can restrict or hide a feature that doesn’t fit your studio’s needs.
