Dashboard Overview

Once you have successfully logged in and your subscription (including the initial free trial) is active, you will land on the Oraion Dashboard. This is your central hub, providing an at-a-glance overview of your school's key activities and performance metrics.

The bar running across the very top of the screen contains several useful elements:

1. (Left) Oraion Logo: The application logo.
2. Search Bar: Allows you to quickly search within the system.
3. Notifications Icon (Bell): Displays a badge indicating unread system notifications.
4. Academic Period Status: This central part dynamically shows the current academic context:
   • During Active Terms: It displays the current Session and the active Term.
     

     

5. During Scheduled Breaks: When the school calendar indicates a break or vacation, it displays the current Session and details about the Break, often including its name, dates, and remaining duration.
