SkieWhat does the Overview page show for each role?
The Overview page is the first screen after sign-in, and it shows the part of the organisation your role covers. A teacher sees their class, a branch head their branch, a school admin their school, and the organisation admin everything. Page access can be switched on or off per role, so the Overview may show more or less depending on how your organisation has set it up.
People open the dashboard to answer a quick question: is everything all right? The Overview is built to answer it in one look, at the level of the person asking.
What you see follows your place in the structure of organisation, school, branch, group, student and device. A class admin or teacher sees the devices in their group, a branch or section head sees the branch, a school admin sees the school and the organisation admin sees the whole organisation. Skie owner and technician roles sit outside any customer and are used by the Skie team for support. Parents, where the school gives them access, have a read-only view of their child's device on school-owned devices.
Summary figures come from the same data as Insights and the breach centre, so the Overview, the alert list and the trend figures agree with each other. A number on the Overview is a doorway: from it you go to the breach centre for the devices that need attention, or to Insights for the trend.
Page access is a setting per role. If your organisation decides class teachers should not see location or certain figures, those pages can be switched off for that role, and the Overview adapts. Check with your admin if a page you expect is missing, because it may simply be off for your role.
The dashboard works in a browser on a computer, tablet or phone, in light or dark mode. See responsive dashboard and dark mode.
Practical tip: make the Overview the first thing each person looks at in the morning, then follow only the doors that show something unusual.
