If you don’t see your group quite yet, don’t worry! We will continue to rollout training for the rest of the school year! If you would like to ensure that the Data Team is aware of your specific role, please reach out to qmlativ@fpschools.org.

Linda is an Office Manager at James Sales and is an active member of our Data Registrars / Elementary Office Managers Focus Group. Linda participates in all of our trainings, has completed many video training courses and is actively using the Qmlativ training area to learn how to do her daily tasks. Linda is on her way to becoming a Qmlativ pro!

Here is what she has to say about Qmlativ:

"Several years ago, when we were told we were switching to Qmlativ, I admit, I was feeling a bit apprehensive about making the change. I still had a lot to learn about Skyward!! Since then, I have had the opportunity to attend WASWUG and take classes about Qmlativ and dabble in the Professional Development Center. Now I can say that I am looking forward to Qmlativ! Many of the new features will make my job easier in the long run. I am grateful for a forward thinking IT department who are working hard to make this transition a smooth one."

Thank you, Linda, for all your hard work! We appreciate you being a Q Champion!

FINANCE USERS - Viewing Account Information in Qmlativ

Accessing account information in Qmlativ will be exceedingly user-friendly. Qmlativ allows users to narrow down the Accounts they see within their School/Department’s Account List by setting up either custom views or filters. In Figure 1, we have filtered our Account List to only see a select number of accounts.

After setting up custom views or filters, users will be able to add Chart Tiles to their Qmlativ Dashboard. As seen on Figure 2, These Chart Tiles can be set up to provide live data directly to your home page. In our example, we have set up one Chart Tile to provide a sum of the Beginning Balance grouped by Account Number for the accounts that were listed in Figure 1. The second Chart Tile provides a sum of the Available Funds also grouped by Account Number for the accounts that were listed in Figure 1.

More training will be provided closer to Go – Live to review this information in depth.

We'd love to hear from you! Reach out with any questions, concerns, or curiosities!
