When an Admin logs into the system, the first thing he/she will see is the “Home” screen also known as the “Dashboard”
The Dashboard is your default home page and provides access to important alerts when you log in to the application. The HAPASIS dashboard shows all recent calendar event information, portal notes and alerts for teachers posted by the administrator. When you log in for the first time it will be a blank screen. It will fill up as and when the school admin adds day-today records in your instance of the software.
As a teacher, you can view student information and schedules for students whom you teach and input grades for these students. You can keep track of students’ grades from the Grades tab. From this tab, not only can you keep track of grades, but you can view students final grades and print report cards for any of your students.
You can also quickly access a Student’s Demographic Information from the Student’s tab.
When you click on any of the tabs in the top menu, you will see a list of sub-menus available to you in that category. Clicking on any menu will launch the specific page in the main frame, and it will update the help frame to display help for that section.
In many places in HAPASIS, you will see data that are modifiable. You will have to first click the value you want to change to have access to an input field. Then, when you change the value and save, the value will return to its previous state.
You can log out of HAPASIS at any time by clicking the “Logout” link at the top right of your workspace.
