Try Out the New Dashboard

clevr Metrics Card - Common Usage notice that states this feature is used by end users to try out the New Dashboard

To help with planning and becoming familiar with the new dashboard feature before it’s deployed, you can try the new dashboard from the legacy homescreens. Note this option is not available to roles that are already configured with the new dashboard.

To trial the new Dashboard, click the Navigate to New Dashboard icon within the top left icon tray.

Once the new Dashboard has been set as the landing page within an account, users are not able to change it back to the legacy landing pages.

Dashboard Cards

A dashboard card is a container to group similar content with actions to manipulate the content. The card header includes a title to identify the type of content being displayed as well as actions to manipulate the data in the card.

For example: in the Listings Card you can change the form that you’re looking at and clevr will save your selection even if you leave the Dashboard and come back to it, versus always resetting back to the default form. This is a huge improvement over the legacy Homescreens.

All Dashboard Cards were designed with search functionality in mind, making it faster and easier to find the information you need without having to navigate to other modules. Below are the Dashboard Cards currently available.The new Dashboard is constantly evolving to include new features. As new cards are available they will be documented within our release notes and included on the Add New Cards carousel. We go into more detail about each Dashboard Card in the Dashboard Navigation section below.

Dashboard Navigation

Your system administrator will determine which cards are being used within your implementation. Most implementations will not have every card mentioned below. If you would like to request a new card to be added to your Dashboard, please contact your system administrator.

Selecting Your School and Form

Each user is assigned a default location (school) and form which will be the default options your Dashboard lands on. The Dashboard differs from the legacy Homescreen and Dashboard in that it has memory – previously users were assigned a default form that they always landed on when logging in. The new Dashboard is capable of remembering which form you were using during your last login and will return you to it.

Users who have access to more than one school can change the location dropdown beside their name found at the top right-hand corner above the navigation menu. The form can be changed via the form dropdown.

Listings Card – Category

As you grow your usage of clevr, you may find that your list of forms is getting long, which could take some time scrolling through to find the exact form you’re looking for. That’s why we have this particular Dashboard Card to help you organize and categorize forms by type, department or use case. Categories are created using the Form Management module and these categories are unique to your clevr environment. For example: Clinical Support Services or Parent Forms

Once your forms are categorized, the category names will appear within the Category dropdown. The Category dropdown has default All or Uncategorized options. The Category dropdown will expand all forms listed under the category you’ve selected.

Listings Card – Searching and Filtering

A filter can be applied for those seeking to narrow down the persons appearing in the Listings Card. The filter works in conjunction with the form selected in the form dropdown.

For example, this hides students who have left the district / division.
