The Administrator home page on the web was designed to be a one-stop-shop whether you're just getting started using brightwheel or need to view common occurrences and actions occurring at your program on any given day.

The onboarding checklist covers all the basic tasks needed to get your program successfully leveraging brightwheel, and each checklist item will direct you to the proper place in the product to perform the task.

The available widgets provide a glance into what's happening across the entire program and improve the ease of navigation to the most common areas needed in your account!

Across the top of the homepage, you'll see a brightwheel starter guide banner with various icons referencing vital steps to take when onboarding with brightwheel.

This is a simplified yet vital checklist for those programs just starting and acclimating to using brightwheel. This starter guide will help you:

Click on each icon to be directed to the area on the web you would complete this task. Once each action on the checklist is complete, this banner will disappear from the home page. This banner will not be visible if you have an existing account and have already completed these sections.
