Today

Today is the app's home screen, and the thing that makes it worth having on a phone. It opens on what is happening now rather than on a menu, and it is built for the thirty seconds between arriving somewhere and starting.

You get the panels that apply to you — a teacher who is also a parent sees both sets.

Next lesson

The one at the top, for teachers: where you are going, and when. It changes with the clock, so it tells you which state you are in rather than making you work it out:

Starting soon	The next lesson is nearly due
In lesson	You are in it now
Lessons done for today	You have taught them all
No lessons today	Nothing scheduled

Where a lesson has no venue recorded, it says so rather than leaving a blank.

Today's lessons

The day's teaching, in order, each opening its lesson page — which is where the register is.

Registers

Registers still to mark. This is the panel that saves the most time: instead of remembering which lesson you did not finish marking, the phone keeps the list and you work through it. It includes anything you marked without a signal that has since been refused — see working without a signal.

Needs your attention

The things waiting on you, gathered in one place rather than spread across screens. Depending on who you are, that can include registers and outcomes to give, make-ups to book, disputed or unconfirmed lessons, connection requests, evaluations, offers to answer, and a progression to confirm for next year.

Each one takes you straight to the screen that deals with it.

This is the panel to trust

If Needs your attention is empty, there is nothing outstanding for you. It is assembled from the same rules the Portal uses for its own dashboard, so it is not a reminder somebody has to maintain — it is what the system knows is waiting.
