Summary :

Like Attendance has its own insights (dashboard) page, we have made a similar insights page for Communications. It is available under the Communications tab called 'Overview' Depending on the user access, an admin and a non-admin user will see different sets of widgets. Admins can seek insights into communication metrics such as message types used, usage trends, identifying non-responsive students, etc.

  • Admin would be able to see all data i.e communication sent by any/all staff

  • Non-admin will only see - self sent communication data

  • 5 widgets each for both types of users

  • No separate permission is required for this communication overview
    ​

  • Administrators seeking oversight and control over school communications

  • Non-admin users aiming to manage and optimize their communication strategies

  • Seamless onboarding for new users

  • Control over self-communication

  • Leaderboard to provide competitiveness among staff hence increasing engagement
