⁠

⁠

The tabs available in the department view are:

Unit

Connections

Learner profile attributes

Custom datasets

Unit

The Unit tab shows all units within the selected department as a structured table. The table includes all standard DP template fields and any custom fields your school has added.

Use the following controls:

Use the search bar to find a unit by keywords.

Use Sort to sort classes and units alphabetically, by created date, or by last modified date. You can also select Apply to all views to carry the sort order across all insight views.

Use Configure columns to show or hide and reorder specific unit information.

Click any unit title to open the full unit planner in a new tab.

Note: To explore insights for other departments, use the dropdown next to the department title to switch departments.

⁠

⁠

Connections

The Connections tab shows how the different types of cross-curricular connections are integrated across courses, units, and tasks in the selected department.
