How to use the Learner Overview

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

Frequently asked questions

Why are certain tabs not visible to certain staff members?

Specific tabs are hidden unless the user has been assigned Learner Overview rights in Staff Management. This ensures data security and POPIA compliance.

Why does a PDF report not open?

Ensure your browser allows pop-up windows for the d6 platform. Pop-up blockers often prevent report windows from opening.
