REACH Metrics Dashboard

This is the landing place in REACH when you first open the system. Immediately you can tell where all of your boarders are, on or off campus , and where on campus they are.

Click on the location wheel and REACH will provide a list of boarder names at any of the locations.

This dash also contains a range of metrics to show you what’s happening on your campus, a running log of the latest events that have taken place in REACH, your upcoming meal count requirements and the latest news published to your REACH users.

Boarder Leave Overview Screen

The Leave Overview screen provides users with an instant summary of boarder leave profiles for the coming week, fortnight or month.

You can filter the view by any type of boarder grouping (year, house or any other group that you have created in REACH for boarders).

Clicking on any event will open the details for that event for easy reviewing.

Running Leave Log

The Running Leave Log is one of the main leave management screens in REACH. All of your current leave events will be listed in the Running Leave log.

This includes any leave event and any status where the leave return date has not already passed. Leave events can be actioned from this screen from the drop down options in the colour coded status bar and clicking on any event will provide an event profile with full details of the event and who has actioned it.

Clicking on a boarder name will open the Student Sidebar Screen which provides you with access to a complete boarder profile including a history of leave, attendance and any notes on the boarder’s record.

Student Movements (Airport) screen

The Student Movements screen is an activity screen which allows you to easily manage student movements for the current day.

It provides details of boarder departures and arrivals expected for the next 24 hours with colour coded event status indicators. Click an event to open the details for that event or click any boarder name to open their complete profile and history.

Student Locator (Kiosk) Screen

The Student Locator Kiosk lets you know WHO is WHERE and WHEN they are returning to your boarding house. This is a real time record of boarder location with easy colour code indication. Hover over any boarder image and their location will be shown on screen.

The Kiosk screen is used to sign boarders in and out of the boarding house. Many schools using REACH commonly have kiosk touch-screens set up in their boarding house entrance for boarders to sign themselves in and out of the boarding house.

Student Sidebar Screen

The Student Sidebar Screen is actually seven screens in one. It provides a completely independant workspace that opens up from the right hand side of your REACH dashboard whenever you click on a boarder name from anywhere in REACH.

The Student Sidebar is a valuable reference tool which provides you with instant access to a complete boarder profiles and history. It does not interfere with any work that may be working on in REACH and you can switch freely between the Student Sidebar and your main REACH workspace without losing any data.

You can even write notes for the boarder record from the Student Sidebar at any time.

End of Shift Report

You can design your own End of Shift Report in REACH to suit your campus with an unlimited number of report sections . Reports are immediately saved and historic reports are easily accessible with full search functionality. You can search for historic reports by staff name, student name or any specific content with wildcard word search.

Sharing reports is as easy as selecting an existing distribution list or identifying individuals that you would like to receive the report. Your End of Shift Report will then appear with a notification alert to the circulation list.

Integrating your End of Shift Report with your student records is automatic. Whenever a student is named in an End of Shift Report REACH pushes a record of that to the students personal records in their welfare and behavior records.

REACH Audit Log

The REACH Audit Log is your ultimate filing cabinet. It provides a thorough, chronological record of every activity carried out in the REACH system. Every transaction, event, communication, or note. Even the device that a user has used to complete a record is tracked, just in case we need it.

Whether it is new or an adjustment to an existing record, REACH tracks it, records it and files it for easy recovery when it’s needed. The Audit Log plays a vital role in tracking procedural workflows for any activity or event. If you need details or evidence for any record or activity, whether it happened yesterday or 3 years ago, it’s available to you at the press of a button.

Download the Report

A common experience within schools considering REACH is that the Boarding Management Team immediately identify with the benefits that REACH provides and how it can greatly enhance their boarding operation however, there is also a requirement to justifying the cost and gain approval from the school business managers. To assist with this we have prepared this document to help Boarding Management to quantify some of the tangible benefits that REACH will provide to your school.
