Configure Student List Defaults

🔐 Account type(s) with default permissions to manage this: Administrator

💻 Tier(s) this is available for: Foundation, Essential, Pro

Configuring Student List defaults lets you give everyone in your district easy access to commonly used Fields, Filters, and Charts the moment they open the Student List. Setting these defaults creates a consistent starting point so your team spends less time reconfiguring views and more time supporting English learners.

ℹ️ Note

This task is available to Ellevation Administrators. If you are not an Administrator, you can still save your own Student List configurations as a View for easy reference.

As an Administrator, you can configure three types of Student List defaults:

• Which Filters appear by default
• Which Fields appear by default
• Which Charts appear by default

📝 Configuring Student List defaults from the Views menu.
