Navigating to usage insights
As an administrator, you can access usage insights from:
School/curriculum homepage → ‘Insights’ card → Usage insights
Usage insights provide various metrics to help you track how actively your staff, students, and families use the different modules of Toddle.
By default, the data displayed is for the present academic year of the current school/curriculum. However, you can change the duration and view data for any other school/curriculum or multiple schools/curricula.
View usage insights overview
At the top, you will see high-level usage metrics for the selected school(s)/curricula and duration. These include:
Unit plans created
Total assignments assigned
Portfolio posts published
Progress reports created
If you select a time duration of the last seven days, thirty days, or six months, the usage data will also include a comparison with the previous corresponding period, as highlighted below.
Below the high-level metrics, you’ll see the Detailed usage insights table. What appears here depends on the ‘View by’ filter you select:
Student / Staff / Family - shows one row per user, along with their activity (e.g., assignments assigned, messages sent, portfolio posts published).
Grade / Class - groups usage by grade levels or classes, showing totals such as unit plans created, assignments assigned, or portfolio posts published.
Columns update automatically based on the selected school(s) and time duration.
You can perform the following actions on the data displayed:
Search bar: Search for a specific user/grade/class.
'Export' icon: Download the table data as a spreadsheet.
'Configure columns' icon: Choose which columns to display in the table.
These features function similarly in the Planning, Assignments, Portfolio, and Messaging insights.
