Personalized Dashboards

You only need to see what is important to you when you first log in to Aviso Retention. If you are a staff member, you can choose the widgets you want to see on your home screen. You can also reorder and re-arrange the widgets on your dashboard however you like.

To edit your dashboard layout, click the Edit Dashboard button in the upper right of your dashboard.

You may then select which Widgets that you want and where they will be shown. Also note that you can provide a custom name for your dashboard.

Impact Tasks

Aviso Engage 5.0 introduces a new concept named Impact Tasks. Impact Tasks allow advisors and other staff to assign tasks to a student for completion. It also permits knowledge to be gained around which tasks lead to success, and which do not. The assigned Impact Task can reference a resource from the Resource Guide and a due date can be set. This keeps the student on track toward obtaining their goals and staying successful. For example, if you require a student to visit the Financial Aid office, assign the student a task to do so by next Friday. Multiple Impact Tasks can be assigned in the case where a multi-step process is to be followed by the student to accomplish a goal.

Impact Tasks can be assigned to students, or staff at the institution. When creating an Impact Task you can set who the task is About, who it is Assigned To and made the assignment of the task. Additional people that can help complete the task can be assigned so that the student knows who else they can turn to for assistance.

Impact Task Templates can be setup by Aviso Engage administrators. These templates permit individual advisors to create Impact Tasks in a standard and more efficient way than creating them each time by hand.

Access to impact tasks is turned off for institutions upon the release.  In order to access this feature, an administrator must grant the appropriate role with the appropriate access.  Administration -> Global Configuration ->  Roles -> and then select the appropriate role, navigate to the Tasks area, select the appropriate permissions and click update.
