Interactive Dashlets – Instant access to the information that matters most


With an information management system as detailed as Fedena, you are going to have all kinds of data coming from different parts of your institution. This can sometimes make tracking and be reviewing of information difficult, especially when certain types of information needs to be monitored frequently. To make things easier for you, we introduced Dashlets.
So what exactly is a dashlet?
A dashlet gives you a quick overview of the information that matters most to you—like your institution’s income and expenses, the timetable for the day, the exam scheduled for the day, and more. The Fedena dashboard features a collection of dashlets that display only the important information generated from its complementary page.
Now, we never stopped there. With the release of Fedena 3.4, we made dashlets even cooler by adding clickable links that take you right to that specific Fedena page, allowing you to act immediately.

The table below explains what each type of Fedena user can see and do with their dashlets.
