Blue Navigation Bar

Home

• Lottery Home: Will get you back to the Home screen
• Lottery Dashboard: Will take you to a dashboard you can configure and see some analytics on your data and lottery
• Enrollment Interest Review: Will take you to the page where you can view, sort, filter your students and run your lottery

Enrollment Interest Review and the Lottery Settings tabs are quick links to those areas of the system

Help tab:

• Knowledge Base: this will take you to the School Pathways Knowledge base. There is a specific section for "Application & Lottery Standalone" users (those not using School Pathways for the full SIS)
• Secure File Transfer: this is access to the login page for the SFT. This is a secure way to send data files and store recordings. If you ever have to send one of your data files to School Pathways, you can load this to the SFT rather than sending sensative information via email.  Your School Pathways contact can send you the login information via a secure One-Time Send link for access if needed.
