Action Items | HelioCampus Assessment Management Knowledge Base

Upon logging in to the platform, users will see the Dashboard page and the Action Items drawer. The Action Items drawer is displayed to each user upon login unless disabled; disabling it is not recommended. The Actions Items drawer displays any tasks that require attention. Examples of items that could display here include, but are not limited to:

Assignments that faculty need to score.
Data collection form tasks that faculty need to complete.
Assignments or surveys for Students to complete.

Action items can be arranged individually (1) or grouped by feature/functionality (2). If all action items have been completed by the logged-in user, the drawer will display a congratulatory message.

Additionally, while this drawer is enabled by default to auto-open upon login, the preference checkbox can be disabled (1). When disabled, the Action Items drawer will not automatically display upon logging in to the platform. The list view can be refreshed by clicking the Refresh icon (2). Refreshing the list view can also be accomplished by closing the Action Items drawer and then reopening it by clicking the Open Action Items icon (3).
