Dashboard
The Dashboard is the first thing you see after signing in. It gives you a read on how the school is performing over a date range you choose, and surfaces the work that needs attention — recent deferrals and registrations, classes that are about to start or have just finished, and which classes are performing well or badly.
What you see here depends on your role. This page describes the Admin and Super Admin view.
Choosing a Date Range
At the top right of the page is the date scope selector:
| Option | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Today | Today only |
| Last 7 Days | The past week |
| Last 30 Days | The past month |
| This Month | The current calendar month to date |
| Custom Range | Any start and end date you pick |
The date range only changes the four statistics at the top. The tables and charts below have their own fixed windows and don't respond to it.
Performance Statistics
Four cards sit below the greeting, each with a small trend line and a change indicator comparing the selected range to the period before it.
| Card | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Revenue | Money taken in over the selected range |
| New Students | Student records created |
| New Registerations | Enrollments created |
| New Deferrals | Registrations deferred |
Hover the change indicator on any card to confirm what it's comparing against — it always reads against the previous period of the same length.
On New Deferrals, a decrease is shown in green. Fewer deferrals is a good result, so the colour reflects that rather than the direction of the number.
Dashboard Sections
Six sections follow the statistics. Each one collapses, so you can hide the ones you don't use and keep the page short.
Latest Deferrals
Deferrals created in the last 30 days.
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Student | Name and student ID |
| Course | The course they deferred from. A Student Deferred chip means they deferred themselves. |
| Reason | Medical, Financial, Scheduling Conflict, Personal, or Other |
| Status | Where the deferral currently sits |
| Deferred | When it happened |
| Expected Return | When the student expects to come back, if they said |
Clicking a row opens that student's profile. For the full waiting list, see Deferrals.
Latest Registrations
The most recent enrollments, from the last 30 days.
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Student | Name and student ID |
| Course / Code | What they registered for |
| City / State | Where the student is based |
| Balance | What they still owe on this registration |
| Class Start Date | When the class begins |
Clicking a row opens the student's profile with that registration already open, so you can take payment or check details without hunting for it.
Passed & Upcoming Classes
Classes from two weeks ago through two weeks ahead — the window where most admin work happens.
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Course / Code | The course and class code |
| Dates | Class dates, or Self-paced for online courses |
| Location | The site, or Online / Remote, or Not Set |
| Capacity | Seats taken out of total, with a bar. Unlimited when there's no cap |
| Status | See the chips below |
| Actions | A menu button with additional options |
| Status Chip | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Complete | The class has finished |
| In Progress | The class is running now |
| Starting Soon | The class begins shortly |
| Low Enrollment | Too few students have signed up |
| On Track | Scheduled and filling normally |
The three-dot menu offers the same options as the Classes list — Manage Class, Download Roster, Email Students, Cancel Class, and Delete Class. Clicking a row opens the class page.
Low Enrollment is the one to act on. Spotting it two weeks out still leaves time to promote the class rather than cancel it.
Revenue by Course
A donut chart of revenue by course, showing the top five and grouping everything else into Other. Hover a slice for the amount and its share of the total.
Empty state: "No course revenue in this date range."
High Performing Classes
Classes with the highest combined performance score.
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Course / Code | The course and class code |
| Dates | When it ran |
| Location | Where it was held |
| Enrollment | How full the class was, as a percentage |
| Revenue | What it brought in |
Low Performing Classes
The same columns, for the classes that need attention, plus a Status column explaining why each one is on the list:
| Chip | What It Means |
|---|---|
| High Cancellation | More than three students cancelled |
| Low Enrollment | The class filled to less than 20% of capacity |
| Low Revenue | It brought in less than expected |
Clicking a row in either table opens the class page.
System Alerts
Coloured banners occasionally appear above every page in AnchorPoint. These are notices from your organization or from AnchorPoint itself — planned maintenance, payment processing issues, or anything else worth flagging.
| Style | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Blue | Information |
| Yellow | A warning worth acting on |
| Red | Something critical |
Some alerts include a button linking to more detail, and some can be dismissed with the × on the right.
Dismissing an alert only affects your own browser. Colleagues will still see it, and it may reappear if you sign in somewhere else.
When Things Are Disabled
| What's Disabled | Why |
|---|---|
| Date range doesn't change a table | The scope selector only drives the four statistic cards. Each table has its own fixed window. |
| A section shows nothing | There's no data in that section's window — for example, no deferrals in the last 30 days. |
| Revenue by Course is empty | No revenue was recorded in the selected date range. |
| The × on a system alert | Only appears on alerts your organization marked as dismissible. |
Key Relationships
- Classes: Passed & Upcoming Classes and both performance tables link straight to the class page, with the same action menu as the Classes list.
- Students: Latest Deferrals and Latest Registrations link to student profiles — Latest Registrations opens the relevant registration directly.
- Deferrals: The Latest Deferrals section is a 30-day slice of the full Deferrals list.
- Role: Instructors and students signing in see their own dashboards instead of this one.
Tips & Notes
- Start your day in Passed & Upcoming Classes. It covers the two weeks either side of today, which is where nearly all admin work sits — chasing enrollment on what's coming and closing out what's finished.
- Compare like with like. The change indicator measures against the previous period of the same length, so switching between "Last 7 Days" and "This Month" changes what "up 12%" actually means.
- Collapse what you don't use. Each section folds away, so you can shape the page around how you actually work.
- Latest Registrations is the fastest route to a balance. Clicking a row opens the registration itself, not just the student, so you're one step from taking payment.
- Treat Low Performing Classes as a scheduling signal. A repeated Low Enrollment for the same course usually means it's scheduled too often or at the wrong time of year — not that the course is failing.
- Read system alerts before dismissing them. They're the only place organization-wide notices appear, and dismissing one hides it for good on that browser.
