Operations

Personas

Every Ops menu, what it is for, and the order to learn it

Operations packs unlock the sidebar groups you see in the live app: Operations, Catalog, Organization, Team, and Settings. Your pack may hide items you do not need.

Use this page as a feature-by-feature tour that matches the Ops chrome.

  2. Skim Website copy for outdated campus names.

Insights extras (when granted)​

Some packs also show Analytics, Leaderboard, or Impact under Operations. Use them for weekly review, not for day-one triage.

Operations triage issues, assign work, and close the loop.
Try this:

Learn Ops in this order: Reports → Jobs → Bins → Staff → Roles. Catalog polish and Brand can wait until the daily loop runs cleanly.
