About Data Palette

Data Palette turns the dashboard into a set of dashlets with role-based links that give an overview of your school's key information.

3 min read Last updated: 30 September 2026

The myschool dashboard is a collection of dashlets. Each dashlet gives an overview of important information for a specific date, drawn from its related page. Dashlets help you monitor your school’s progress; you can drag and drop them to rearrange them and choose which ones to show.

Data Palette makes the dashboard interactive. Each dashlet contains links that, when clicked, show information based on the user’s role and privileges, so users can act on it immediately.
