# Getting Around

> How to sign in, read the tuition centre workspace, use the role-aware sidebar, and find your daily work in Bizaxl Tuition Centre.

This page shows you where everything lives so you can get to work quickly. If you are brand new to the platform, the shared [Bizaxl Platform](/bizaxl/introduction) guide covers signing in, the top bar, and general navigation. Everything below is specific to the tuition centre.

## Signing in and the workspace

You reach the tuition centre through your portal at the `/tuition` address. What you see first depends on your role: staff land on the operations dashboard, students see their own timetable and grades, and guardians see their children.

## The role-aware sidebar

The left sidebar only shows pages your role is allowed to use. The same portal serves everyone, so a student never sees staff-only tools and staff never wade through parent-only pages.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Staff (Manager / Academics)">
    * **Dashboard**: centre-wide numbers

  </Tab>

## The two workplaces

Most people work entirely in the portal. Managers and administrators occasionally use the Desk, which is the classic back-office view for advanced record editing and reports.

| Where                   | Best for                                                   | Who                      |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **Portal** (`/tuition`) | Daily work: attendance, marks, fees, classes, parent views | Everyone                 |
| **Desk** (`/app`)       | Bulk edits, advanced reports, one-off record fixes         | Managers, System Manager |

The Desk workspace for the centre lists every record type: students, guardians, instructors, batches, program enrolments, attendance, hall tickets, progress cards, fees, refunds, autopay mandates, enquiries, notification logs, consent records, commissions, and settlements.

## Finding a record fast

<Steps>
  <Step title="Use the sidebar first">
    Nine times out of ten the page you want is one click away in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search within a list">
    On any list page (Students, Fees, Enquiries), use the search and filters at the top to narrow down.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the detail">
    Click a row to open its detail page, where linked records (batch, fees, results) are shown together.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips

* **Trust the sidebar.** If a page is not in your sidebar, your role does not need it. This is by design, not a fault.
* **Students and guardians see only their own data.** A guardian sees only their linked children; a student sees only their own records.
* **Managers, use the Desk for bulk work.** Correcting many records at once is faster in the Desk than the portal.
