2. Admin Portal Interface

The user interface for the Admin Portal is very straightforward and easy-to-use. In this chapter, we will discuss the four (4) main parts of this portal. 

  1. Navigation Bar - In this portion, you will see a list of links that will help you access different parts of the Admin Portal.
  2. Main Content -  In this portion, all of the information are displayed in table form. There will be action buttons (view, edit, or delete) for each row. In most modules, there will be a New button displayed on the upper-right part. 
  3. Account actions - you can view your account by clicking this button image-1614794971130.png. To logout, simply click this button image-1614795124839.png.
  4. Filter - to narrow down the list or data displayed in the Main content, you can use the filter fields in this portion. The available fields will vary depending on which module you are currently in. 

Figure 2. Admin Portal Dashboard

2.1. Dashboard

Dashboard is the homepage of the Admin Portal (see Figure 2). It contains the statistics of the responses gathered from the Facility Tracking survey (COVID-19 Responses).

The figures displayed here will change depending on what type of administrator is currently logged in. For example, as a Regional IT Officer (RITO), you can see the data here within your designated region and the divisions under it. Another example is if a Division IT Officer (DITO) is currently logged in, the available data displayed for them is already filtered by their designated division. They could only see the statistics for their division and the schools under it.

 


3. User Management

There are two kinds of users in DepEd Monitoring: an administrator and a normal user (survey respondents). As a RITO, you have the access to manage them both. You can create, view, and edit an administrator and a user.

This chapter will focus on managing administrators. As a RITO, you can view the list of administrators, create a new one, and you can also view, or edit existing one.

 

3.1.1. Admin Roles

There are six (6) different admin roles available. Each one has its own access and permissions to the Admin Portal.

  2. Central Office - has access to all modules and reports and with tasks to create, view, and edit records.
