Your dashboard is the first thing you see when you sign in to your academy, and it’s designed to answer one question fast: how is my academy doing right now? It surfaces your headline numbers — revenue, enrollments, and active learners — so you can spot momentum or trouble at a glance before diving deeper.
The headline metrics
At the top of your dashboard you’ll find your key figures, each summarizing a slice of your academy’s health:
- Revenue — money generated from course sales over the selected period, charged through your connected Stripe Connect account.
- Enrollments — the number of new entitlements created, whether from purchases, free sign-ups, invites, or comps.
- Active learners — learners who have engaged with your content recently, a far better signal of a healthy academy than total sign-ups alone.
Together these tell you whether you’re attracting learners, converting them to buyers, and keeping them engaged.
Choosing a time range
Most dashboard figures respond to a date range selector. Switching ranges lets you ask different questions:
- Last 7 days — your current pulse; good for tracking a launch or promotion.
- Last 30 days — your steady-state trend, smoothing out daily noise.
- All time — the big picture of everything your academy has earned and enrolled.
Comparing a recent range against the prior one shows whether you’re growing, flat, or slipping.
Reading the trends
Beyond raw totals, your dashboard charts how the numbers move over time. Watch for:
- Revenue spikes that line up with launches, emails, or coupon campaigns — proof of what’s working.
- Enrollment growth outpacing revenue, which can mean free courses are doing their job feeding your funnel.
- Active learners dropping while enrollments rise, a sign learners are buying but not engaging — worth investigating in course and lesson engagement.
From the dashboard to the detail
The dashboard is a starting point. When a number prompts a question, drill in:
- For what’s being watched and completed, see Course and lesson engagement.
- For where the money came from and when it pays out, see Revenue and payout reports.
- For who your learners are, see Managing your learners.
Tips for using your dashboard well
- Check it on a rhythm. A quick daily glance during a launch, a weekly review otherwise, keeps you ahead of trends.
- Tie numbers to actions. When revenue jumps, note what you did — an email, a coupon, a new course — so you can repeat it.
- Trust active learners over sign-ups. Engagement, not vanity counts, predicts retention and word-of-mouth.
Your dashboard turns scattered activity into a clear story. Make it your first stop each session, then follow the threads that matter into the detailed reports.
