A Reminder About Class Visibility and Features in Little Sis
Little SIS provides many powerful ways to explore the Google Classroom classes on your domain, but what you can see and do very much depends on what kind of user you are within Little SIS.
Super administrators can view ALL of the Google Classroom classes on a Google Workspace domain and have unlimited access to features within Little SIS. Learn about features specific to super admins.
Users who are not super admins can be granted access to a limited set of classes within Little SIS. Depending on your role, you may also have only a limited set of features available to you. Learn more about permissions.
Little SIS keeps a live copy of data related to all classes (and their metadata like assignments, announcements, etc.) on your domain and makes these available for exploration and bulk actions via the Classroom Explorer.
Overview
The Teacher Analysis Report is your per teacher workload report. It includes a row per teacher with TOTALS of classes meeting a variety of criteria:
- The total number of classes, broken down by ACTIVE, ARCHIVED, PROVISIONED, and DECLINED states
- Classes that have the guardian notification feature enabled
- Classes that have co-teachers
- Classes that they are a co-teacher in
- Classes with very few students
- Total assignment count
- Total announcement count
- Count of classes requiring metadata refresh
There are a lot of columns to this report. Let’s start by looking at the different areas of the page.
| # | Setting | Description |
| 1 | Timeframe filter | Pre-defined timeframes of academic years let you narrow your view to meet any purpose. |
| 2 | Menu | The three-dots menu provides access to refresh data and export data to Google Sheets. |
| 3 | Column filter |
The visible rows within the explorer can be filtered on each column, either as a text value, or using the funnel icon which offers checkboxes, inequalities, or date filter operators depending on the data type. Current filtered columns headers are highlighted and the names of filtered columns appear at the bottom of the page. To clear filters, click the X for any filter to remove it, or click Clear All to clear all selected filters. |
| 4 | Reordering columns | Dragging and dropping a column will reorder it within the grid. The column order can be saved as a saved view. |
| 5 | Sorting by column value | Clicking a column header sorts the grid in ascending order by that column. Click the column header a second time to sort in descending order. Click the column header a third time to remove the sort. You can sort the list by one column at a time. |
| 6 | Views |
Views are defined sets of columns, in a specified order, that can be quickly applied to the Teacher analysis grid.
Note: You can filter and sort to tailor a specific view, but that view cannot be saved. |
| 8 | Record and Page Counter | Shows the number of records displayed on the current page and shows which page you are viewing. |
