Navigating the Dashboard

Navigating the Dashboard

The PrepBase Dashboard is your central control panel — the first page you see after logging in.
Each user role (Admin, Tutor & Counselor, Student, and Parent) has its own dashboard tailored to their access level and daily needs.

This guide explains how to navigate these dashboards, interpret key widgets, and use the sidebar tools efficiently.

1. Administrator Dashboard

The Admin Dashboard provides a complete overview of your organization’s operations — including user activity, session performance, revenue, and instructor analytics.

The dashboard is divided into multiple data-driven widgets:

The Student Dashboard is designed for easy learning management and progress tracking.

 Dashboard Overview
SectionDescription
My ProgressSummarizes Attendance and performance scores recorded by tutors & counselors when submitting an Action Plan after each completed session.
Depending on the session type, the scoring fields may vary — for example, general categories such as Comprehension and Engagement, or other custom metrics defined for that particular session.
The system then calculates and displays an aggregate total of all attendance and performance scores for the student.
My PackagesDisplays assigned or purchased tutoring and counseling packages with total and remaining hours. Students can see progress bars showing usage percentage.
My AgendaLists upcoming tutoring or counseling sessions with session type, instructor name, and timing. Students can Reschedule, Cancel, or Message their instructor directly.
