Overview

The Learner Overview module serves as a centralized data hub, providing a comprehensive 360-degree view of a learner’s school career. It consolidates biographical details, parent/guardian contact info, conduct history, academic performance, and attendance records into a single interface.

My School > Learners > Learner Overview

Purpose of Feature

This feature eliminates the need to navigate between multiple system sections to compile a complete learner profile. It ensures authorized staff have immediate access to critical data for counseling, administrative updates, and parent communication.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Enter at least 3 characters (name, surname, family code, or admission number) into the search block. Results filter automatically.

  • Use the Status dropdown to include active, prospective, or past learners.

  • Click Reset to clear search criteria for a new query.

2. Managing Information Tabs

  • Learner Tab (Biographical): View core data across Personal, School, Medical, and Other sub-tabs.

    • To Edit: Click Edit Learner to update records via the 6-step setup wizard.

    • To Export: Use the Print (PDF) or Excel buttons at the bottom of the page.

  • Parents Tab: Manage contact and account details for Guardians 1, 2, and the Accountable Person.

    • To Edit: Click Edit Parent/Guardian. This opens Step 4 of the family setup in a new window.

    • Note: This is a Read-Only summary. To add incidents, go to My School > Learners > Discipline.

    • To Print: Click Discipline Report, select the learner, click Preview, then Print.

    • Note: This is a Read-Only view. To edit, go to My School > Curriculum.

  • Attendance Tab: View presence history. Previous school absences are marked as "OB" (e.g., OB:18).

  • Notes & Documents Tab: * Add Note: Click Add Note. Select Public (all users with rights) or Private (restricted to specific roles).

    • Upload: Use Choose File under Documents to attach external files (e.g., certificates).

System Behaviour

  • Pop-up Blockers: If a PDF report fails to open, ensure your browser allows pop-ups for the d6 platform.

  • Data Synchronization: Updates made via the "Edit" buttons reflect globally across the system (Finance, Communication, and Admin).

  • Preliminary Marks: Academic marks displayed during the year are calculations based on current data and are subject to change until year-end finalization.

Restrictions & Reasons

  • Tab Visibility: Specific tabs are hidden if the user has not been granted "Learner Overview Rights" in Staff Management. This ensures data security and POPIA compliance.

  • Read-Only Sections: Conduct and Academic tabs are restricted to viewing only to prevent accidental modification of moderated records.

  • Code of Conduct Totals: Accumulated totals (e.g., demerits) expire based on School Setup (Monthly, Termly, etc.). Do not change this mid-year as it recalculates historical totals.
