New Screens Features
With the new SEAtS UI, it is easier for academic teams to get the actionable insights they need to improve student outcomes and campus efficiency. With additional insights, display options, and dashboards, data-driven decision making is simplified with SEAtS.
Some of the new features include:
- Charts are now accompanied with a textual description, describing key insights and trends.
- Students on-hold appear on the Workflow Stages chart on the home screen.
- Student and staff can now view timetables in calendar layout.
- A new dashboard layout is available for enhanced actionable insights. The attendance trend charts show which times of day receive higher/lower attendance levels.
- Class Attendance Chart: Lecturers can now see a visual representation of attendance at each class, with a new interactive chart.
- New check in mode fields shows the method students use to register their attendance.
- Users can export any on screen data from any screen to PDF & CSV.
Student Profile New Features
The student profile is one of the most important areas of the SEAtS platform. This area holds some of the most essential information and actionable insights to drive student success, improve student wellbeing and understand the student experience at your institution. As such, it has undergone the most significant changes to layout, navigation and user experience.
The key features and functionality added to the student profile are:
- Email students directly from the Student Profile page.
- Multi-metric chart: Compare trends across all performance and engagement metrics.
- Module Comparison Chart: Compare attendance, submissions, and grades more easily across modules.
- Annual Attendance Chart: View a full year of attendance patterns at a glance, and drill-down for additional actionable insights.
- Timeline Activity: Grant students access to view their timelines. Institutions have control of which event types are visible to students, via their event visibility settings.
Approvals New Features
The approvals section of the SEAtS platform has been recently added to support our new mitigating and special circumstances solution. Here staff members can view student special circumstances applications, their case status, attached documentation and more. Staff can also individually, or bulk approve applications and reach out to students for more information.
This screen will also enable extensive reporting on all trends and actionable insights on issues related to mitigating circumstances.
- Approval status filters are now multi-select, allowing staff to filter and view applications of various approval status immediately.
- Staff can now view and filter for approvals by created date or last updated date.
- Staff can now view the names of the users who created and last updated approvals.
- Students can now be emailed from within the approvals screen.
Another beneficial feature added to the approvals module:
– Cases can now be opened for students from within the approvals screen.
This will help institutions immediately escalate students who are struggling with special circumstances to support services, ensure they get back on track quickly and prioritise their well-being.
Helpful Extra Features
Some additional benefits included in the new UI refresh include:
- Users can now share feedback directly with SEAtS via the feedback form located in the user dropdown.
- Live QR codes: QR codes for scanning attendance can now be set to auto-refresh every few seconds. This will help to improve attendance monitoring integrity.
That’s all on the SEAtS UI refresh for enhanced actionable insights! We hope the improved design, experience and functionality enables our partner institutions to get the most out of their SEAtS investment. This new system refresh will help us deliver to our partners, our three pillars of institutional success: Student Success, Operational Excellence and Corporate Governance.
