The School Owner's dashboard shows the whole school at a glance. The first time you open it, Academium offers to **show you around**. You can take the tour again later from the dashboard.

## The panels

| Panel | Shows |
| --- | --- |
| **User Statistics** | How many students, employees and parents the school has, and recent **admissions**, for this session or the current term |
| **Fees Summary** | Total fees allocated, paid and outstanding, balances **from earlier terms**, discounts granted, scholarships awarded, and transport and hostel balances outstanding |
| **Income & Expense** | Money in and money out, and the **net** for the period |
| **Module Overview** | Figures from your school's optional modules, such as total inventory sales |
| **Family Wallet** | The total balance held in family wallets |
| **Attendance Compliance** | Each class and its class teacher, whether the register was taken each school day, and classes missing registers several days in a row |
| **Event Calendar** | Upcoming holidays and events, as a list or a month |
| **Birthday Celebrants** | Students and staff with a birthday today |
| **Catch Up** | Work that needs your attention. Hidden at first on this dashboard, so the figures come first; turn it on in your dashboard settings. |

Panels for modules your school does not use, or your plan does not include, do not appear.

## Reading the figures

- **Fees** count the current term, plus anything still owed from earlier terms.
- **Family wallet top-ups** are not counted as income. They become income when they pay fees.

## Arranging it

Show, hide and reorder the panels, and choose your clock and calendar style. See [Arranging your dashboard](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-arranging-your-dashboard.md).
