Watch: My Dashboard
Your Atlas Dashboard is the first page you see when you login. It is dynamic and customizable to provide immediate access to custom curriculum analysis and reporting.
If you're new to Atlas, don't worry about personalizing your dashboard at this time. This can be done later after you are more familiar with the Atlas system.
- Your Atlas Dashboard might come equipped with several default panels determined by your school Leadership Team.
- You may further Personalize your Atlas Dashboard to include custom tools and curriculum reports saved by you or other users in your system.
