Change views

If you have access to more than one view, click the View drop-down on the settings bar to change to a different view from any page in Aspen.

Also, you can set a default view in your user preferences.

Note: You will not see the view drop-down if you do not have access to more than one view.

Some educators take on a number of different roles in a school system. For example, assume you are logged on to the high school's system as a technology director. First, you need to define a new user in the Admin tab. Then, since you are also a teacher, you need to access your gradebookClosed for your classes. To do so, you would need to change to the Staff view.

To change views:

  1. On the settings bar, click the view drop-down. A menu appears.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click District to access information for all students and staff members in the district and to configure district settings.
    • Click Intermediate Organization to access and view information for the students and staff members in one specific organization and configure organization settings.
    • Click School to access and view information for the students and staff members in one specific school in the district and to configure school settings.
    • Click Staff to manage attendance and grades for your classes.
    • Click Health to manage student health information for a school.
    • Click Build to build a master schedule for your school.
    • Click Special education to track IEPs and other information for your special education students across the district.
    • Click Family, as a parent, to view all of your children's attendance, grade, and conduct information.
    • Click Student, as a student, to keep track of your assignments and activities and store files in your virtual locker.

Note: An easy way to know which view you are in is by the color scheme – for example, green for the District view, and blue for the School view.

If you are working in one view, change to another, and then change back to the first view, the system remembers the page you were previously working on. For example, assume you are viewing a student’s transcript in the School view. Then, you change to the Build view. When you change back to the School view, the student’s transcript you were originally viewing appears.
