Weekly Calendar
The Weekly Calendar button on the Executive Dashboard opens a calendar view of your classes by week. This is your class command center and allows you to manage almost all areas of your classes from one screen! See The Weekly Calendar for more details.
Quick Search Fields
Jackrabbit has two Quick Search fields. One field allows you to search family name, email, or home or cell phone. The other field allows you to search for active classes. We also refer to them as Global Search boxes. See Search for Information in your Database for more details.
Buttons
Buttons are found throughout Jackrabbit. Click a button to perform a specific action.
Tabs
Tabs are located on family, student, class, and staff pages in Jackrabbit. Tabs are separate areas of organization. For example, clicking the Billing Info tab in a Family's information displays a screen specific to the family's billing details.
Links
Links are shortcuts to related records and are displayed in blue text and an underline. Once a link has been clicked, it displays purple.
Drop-downs
Drop-downs are indicated by a down arrow. When you click on the down arrow, a list of choices displays (drops down). You'll learn how to customize drop-downs specifically for your organization in the Customize Drop-down Lists article.
