Simple Syllabus: Report Admin Quick-start Guide

Updated on Apr 17, 2026

About

Report Admins use the Document Status Report in the Reports dashboard to provide data on the status of site-wide syllabi. It can be used for term-level reporting or customized to include site-specific data points and access published syllabi. Document Status Reports are helpful to pull and review before the start of each part of the term within traditional credit semesters and other College terms.

Only users with the Report Admin role are able to view and utilize the Reports page.
