> This walkthrough uses the real DeanDesk interface with the fictional Northstar Academy demo school and a calm, AI-generated English voice. Payments and outside services are not connected in the demo.Screenshots use fictional Northstar demo data.Open **Admin Dashboard** in your school portal. The **Admin Console** is the home screen; the sidebar groups school tools into **Operations**, **Admissions**, **People**, **Academics**, **Finance**, and **Website & Comms**.## Home and category tabs**Home** shows attendance, students, revenue, courses, applications, and orders, together with enabled widgets and starred or frequently used tools. Use the revenue range controls to change the displayed period. Click **Refresh** to reload dashboard data.Use **Customize** to show or hide home widgets, **Create** for common creation actions, and a tool's star control to pin it. The six category tabs show that category's tools and relevant summaries. They open the same pages as the sidebar.**1. Choose your task**Open a sidebar category, select its tool, or use dashboard search to find a tool by name.**2. Choose the workspace tab**Some pages combine several tasks. Use the page tabs listed below; a selected person, course, roster, or product may expose additional detail views.**3. Check the scope before changing settings**Confirm the school name in the header. Institution subscriptions, Identities, and institution memberships are managed separately in the [institution dashboard](/institution/dashboard.md).![Northstar demo: Admin Console — Home](https://mintcdn.com/deandesk/Ib88bqpYdQ7_QHTP/images/dashboard/school/overview--home.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Ib88bqpYdQ7_QHTP\&q=85\&s=b5111a28b342d0b8297a2a68d9209700)Northstar demo — Admin Console — Home[Open full-size screenshot](/images/dashboard/school/overview--home.jpg)## Availability and setupYour permissions, school product, and enabled features determine which tools appear. The attendance destination changes with the school's tracking mode.
