Dashboard
The LEVANTE dashboard is the platform for researchers to manage users and administer the LEVANTE core measures.
Key Terms
Using the dashboard correctly requires understanding the set of entities that are stored in the dashboard, so please begin by familiarizing yourself with these terms. In the context of the dashboard, an "entity" refers to any distinct item or unit that can be identified, managed, or interacted with. This includes users, groups, assignments, tasks, and other similar elements. Each entity is a unique component of the system, often with its own set of properties and behaviors, which can be viewed, modified, or analyzed through the dashboard. Entities are the fundamental building blocks that make up the data structure and functionality of the dashboard.

Data flow
This diagram shows the relation between children, administrations, and organizations. Children belong to a group. Administrations belong to a group (organization). Note that children do not belong to an administration.
Creating assessments for children / students
Given the above the diagram, to give children tasks to play through, these are the required steps:
- Create a group / groups
- Register users, providing the group(s) you want them to belong to.
- Create administrations and assign them to the groups with the users you want
