Everything in the staff app hangs off the left sidebar. Items are grouped so related things sit together; some groups expand to reveal sub-pages. Here’s the whole map.
The sidebar, top to bottom
| Item | What’s there |
|---|---|
| Today | Your day at a glance and what needs attention — unconfirmed attendance, overdue invoices, make-ups to rebook. (This replaced the old “dashboard”.) |
| Calendar | Your timetable. Book lessons, drag to reschedule, take attendance. |
| Make-ups | Students owed a make-up lesson, and rebooking a credit into a slot. |
| Students | Your roster and each student’s profile. The Enquiries pipeline lives behind a toggle here too. |
| People | Teachers and Locations. (Schools and academies only — solo teachers don’t see this.) |
| Billing & Finance | Expands to Family Accounts, Invoices, Billing runs, Expenses & Mileage and Reports. |
| Messages | Your conversations with families. |
| Teaching | Expands to Repertoire, Resources (your file library) and Lending Library. |
| Growth | Expands to Website (booking page), Enquiries, Reviews and News. |
| Settings | Your account, your organisation, integrations, and more. |
| Agency | A cross-studio rollup. (Agency plans only.) |
Worth knowing Invoices and Reports are inside the Billing & Finance group — they are not top-level items. If a teacher signs in, that group is slimmed to "My pay & mileage".
A few things that don’t have their own menu item
These open from a button, a card, or search rather than the sidebar:
- Take attendance (the register) — the “Take attendance” button on the Calendar.
- Set up a student’s make-up — from a lesson you’ve marked absent.
- The guided Setup checklist — the card on your Today page.
Search for anything
Press the Search button in the top bar (or ⌘K / Ctrl-K) to jump to any student, lesson, invoice or enquiry — and to reach the pages that don’t have a menu item. It’s the fastest way to get anywhere.
Two more places to know
- The top bar has your studio switcher (if you run more than one), the notifications bell, and the sparkle that opens LoopAssist, your built-in assistant.
- Settings is its own world with six sections — see Where every setting lives.
