Parent Dashboard

The Parent Admin Console is your command center for managing the entire family task system. From here you can monitor all children's progress, configure features, assign tasks, and customize the experience for each child individually.

Accessing the Parent Dashboard

To access the Parent Admin Console:

  1. Log into the application using your parent credentials
  2. Look for the "Parent Mode" or admin access button (usually in the top navigation)
  3. Enter your 4-digit PIN or use biometric authentication
  4. The Parent Dashboard will open, showing an overview of all children

Security

The Parent Dashboard is protected by a PIN gate to prevent children from accessing administrative controls. Configure your PIN in Security Settings before first use.

Dashboard Overview

When you first enter the Parent Dashboard, you see a summary view that displays the status of all children in the system at a glance.

Managing Tasks from Dashboard

The Parent Dashboard provides several ways to manage tasks for your children:

Create New Tasks

Click "Add Task" to create a new task with the following options:

  • Title: What the task is called
  • Description: Detailed instructions (optional)
  • Point Value: How many points it's worth
  • Time Period: Morning, Afternoon, or Evening
  • Due Date: Optional deadline
  • Assign To: Select which children receive this task
  • Recurrence: Daily, weekly, or one-time

Assign Existing Tasks

From the Task Bank, you can assign any existing task to specific children. This is useful for maintaining a library of standard tasks (like homework, chores, or daily routines) that can be assigned as needed.

Edit or Remove Tasks

Any task can be edited or removed before its due date. Edits update the task for all assigned children. Removing a task cancels it completely.

Monitoring Progress

The dashboard provides multiple ways to monitor each child's progress:

Real-Time Status

When children are actively using the app, their status updates in real-time. You can see:

  • When they complete a task
  • When they earn bonus points
  • When they redeem a reward
  • When they unlock an achievement

Daily Check-Ins

At any time, you can view today's status for any child:

  • Which tasks are complete
  • Which tasks remain
  • Points earned so far
  • Progress toward daily target

Weekly Reports

Automated weekly reports summarize each child's performance:

  • Total points earned
  • Tasks completion rate
  • Streak status
  • Most earned reward
  • Trends compared to previous weeks

Dashboard Settings

Customize how the Parent Dashboard behaves through Settings:

Setting Description
Default Child Which child's detail view opens by default
Refresh Rate How often the dashboard updates (5-60 seconds)
Notification Preferences Which events trigger notifications
Report Frequency When weekly reports are generated and sent
Compact View Show more children in less space

Quick Tips

  • Check Daily: A quick morning check-in helps you see what needs attention that day
  • Use Child Selector: The filter at the top lets you focus on one child at a time or view all
  • Enable Notifications: Get alerted to important events like completed tasks or reward requests
  • Review Weekly Reports: Don't miss the automated summaries—they reveal patterns you might otherwise miss
  • Adjust as Needed: If the dashboard isn't showing what you need, check Settings to customize the view
