Generally, Dashboards are organized in the same way as Data Walls. These main folders are organized first by Scope (Me, School, District) and then by subfolders.
Me
Dashboards defined in the "Me" scope are only available to be seen by the user who created the dashboard.
School
Dashboards defined in the "School" scope are available to any user who is assigned to the Currently Active School.
District
Dashboards defined in the "District" scope are available to any user in the school district.
Security
Scope determines availability of a dashboard, but it does not determine what information users can see on that dashboard. Instead, information displayed on a dashboard is a function of user permissions and school access.
For example, a user must be in the elementary school to access elementary school information. Additionally, user permissions may limit access to students on a roster vs all students in a school, or even limit access to certain information. To learn more about permissions, see Managing Permissions.
