The project
A college group runs several colleges on an ERP whose finance screens were flat totals with no target and no comparison, and whose head-wise report stopped at a 28-column spreadsheet. I had the earlier version to work from, and redesigned its finance, staff and settlements screens.
The main idea is the drill-down. Group, college, programme and batch each open as a drawer over the last, so the page behind stays in view. Every drawer keeps the same summary banner and the same columns, and a lowest-collection line names the weakest row and its gap to target.
The idea
Four levels of drill-down in stacked drawers, with the same columns and the weakest row at every level.
Screens are rebuilt for this portfolio with sample content. Every figure in them is sample data.
Main feature · Drill-down
Group to batch, without losing your place
Each level opens as a drawer over the finance dashboard. The levels behind stay as spines on the left, so the path is always in view.
Four levels, one path

The same line opens every level
Alerts
Each alert says what, where and who
Alerts are sorted into finance and staff, and each type has its own colour. Every card carries the college, and finance alerts add the amount, the student and the owner.
Four alert types, two groups
Red needs action, amber needs a look

Staff · Dashboard and register
From the staff dashboard to one person's record
The overview shows who is in, by college, and flags absence patterns. The register filters by status in one row of tabs, and any name opens that person’s history.
