Accessing TAC pages

This topic outlines navigation options for TAC pages. Regardless of what TAC page is currently displayed, you can access any TAC page from the TAC Banner or the TAC Navigation Bar. To make your workflow more efficient, the Home page features icon shortcuts to let you access often-used TAC pages more quickly and pre-loaded with the appropriate class.

For consistency and simplicity, help topics for each TAC page and task topics display page only paths from the Navigation bar or the TAC Banner.

Accessing Pages from the Navigation Bar

The Navigation Bar and the TAC Banner display on every TAC page, so you can easily manage your session and navigate to other pages regardless of what page is currently displayed.

The TAC Banner lets you customize settings and preferences, log out of your current session, launch the Notifications Viewer and User Voice, set/change your database environment, launch help, and search for students.

The Navigation Bar gives you a direct path to all TAC pages; it displays buttons for Home, Attendance, Gradebook, Grade Reporting, Class Management, Performance, Recommendations, and Interventions. The Navigation bar only displays options that your building uses. Buttons with a down-triangle () provide multiple options. To display these options, move the pointer over the button to display a drop-down. You can also click directly on the button to display the default page associated with the option. You can change the default for some of these on the Settings page ( user.name > Settings).

Accessing TAC pages via Home Page icons

The My Classes pane of the home page displays icons to provide single-click access to the most commonly-used TAC pages. Since each icon is associated with a specific class, its associated page opens with the class selected; this saves time (when compared to opening a page from the Navigation Bar), since you don't need to select the appropriate class after opening a TAC page.
