Understanding the Gosfem Dashboard
The Gosfem dashboard provides a quick overview of important information about your school. It brings together financial records, students, staff, attendance, parents, inventory, polls, and other important school activities in one place.
The information displayed on the dashboard may vary depending on your user role, school configuration, academic session, and the data available in your Gosfem account.
Gosfem Dashboard Overview
The image below shows the main Gosfem dashboard and some of the information available to authorized users.

Academic Session
At the top of the dashboard, you will find the Session selector. This allows you to select the academic session you want to view.
After selecting a session, Gosfem displays information related to that academic session. This is useful when reviewing historical income, expenses, student records, inventory sales, and other session-based information.

Total Parents
The parents section displays the total number of parents recorded in the system. It also provides a breakdown by gender, such as male, female, and other where applicable.

The Student Counts table provides a breakdown of students by class. It can show the number of girls, boys, and the total number of students in each class.

The student attendance section provides a daily overview of student attendance by class. It shows the number of students marked as present and absent for each class.
Income and Expense Summary
The Income and Expense section provides a monthly summary of financial activity for the selected academic session. The table can display income and expenses for individual months and provide a total at the bottom.
Income Expense Chart
The Income Expense Chart provides a visual representation of financial information. Depending on the available data, the chart can display income, expenses, student wallet amounts, and invoice values across the months of the academic session.
Inventory Sales
The Inventory Sales section provides a monthly summary of sales generated from school inventory. It displays the sales amount for each month and the total amount recorded for the selected academic session.
Inventory Items
The Inventory Items section provides an overview of inventory items registered in the school. It can show the purchase price and sales price of each item.
Polls and Quick Surveys
The Polls & Quick Survey section displays available polls or quick surveys configured for the school. This allows users to see surveys that may require participation or review.
Why the Dashboard Is Useful
The Gosfem dashboard is designed to give school administrators and authorized users a quick understanding of what is happening in the school without having to open every individual module.
Instead of checking financial records, student records, attendance, staff information, inventory, and surveys separately, the dashboard brings important summaries together in one location.
Dashboard Information May Change
The values displayed on the dashboard are generated from information recorded in Gosfem. If a particular section shows zero or no data, it may mean that there are currently no records available for that category, date, or selected academic session.
As new students, payments, expenses, attendance records, staff records, inventory transactions, and other information are added to Gosfem, the relevant dashboard summaries can be updated accordingly.
Important Note
Dashboard information is intended as a summary. For detailed information or to make changes to records, open the relevant Gosfem module from the navigation menu. The information and options available to you may also depend on your user permissions.
