KidzLog
Getting Started

Dashboard Overview

Navigate the KidzLog dashboard and understand the main interface.

The dashboard is the first thing you see when you log in to KidzLog. It gives you a quick snapshot of your center's activity — how many children are enrolled, who's checked in, upcoming events, and any items that need your attention.

When you first create your center, the dashboard includes a Complete Your Setup checklist and demo data to help you get started. These disappear as you complete the onboarding steps.

As your center grows, the dashboard shows more data — attendance stats, pending incidents, and real events:

Dashboard Sections

Summary Cards

At the top of the dashboard, you'll see quick-glance cards showing:

  • Registered Children — total number of children in your center
  • Team Members — staff count
  • Current Programs — active programs

Click any card to jump directly to that section.

Pending Incidents

If there are incident reports waiting for review, they appear here with a count and summary. Click an incident to review it, or click the arrow to see all incidents.

Attendance Widget

The attendance section shows today's numbers at a glance:

  • Total Enrolled Children — children expected today
  • Currently Here — children currently checked in
  • Attended Today — children who have been checked in at some point today
  • Absent — children who haven't checked in

Click the widget to go to the full Attendance page.

If children are still checked in from previous days, you'll see an Unclosed Check-Ins alert. Click Close Check-Ins to resolve them.

Calendar

The calendar on the right side highlights days with scheduled events. Click a date to see what's planned.

Upcoming Events

Below the calendar, you'll see a list of upcoming events. Click any event to view its details, or click View All to see the full Events list.
