Go to Milestones or Tasks to see everything that was created.
Important Deadlines Created:
Milestones are BIG goals with deadlines. Think of them as checkpoints in a video game.
Critical Deadlines to Remember:
When you have lots of milestones, filters help you find exactly what you need.
Click "Milestones" in the navigation menu.
At the top, you'll see a white box with dropdown menus.
You can filter by:
The page instantly updates to show only milestones that match your filters. A counter shows "Showing X of Y milestones".
Click "Clear Filters" to see all milestones again.
Pro Tip!
Use filters to find YOUR team's milestones. If you're on the Dance team, filter by "Dance" to see only your deadlines!
Tasks are the smaller steps inside each milestone. If a milestone is the destination, tasks are the directions to get there.
Follow-up logs are progress reports that help leaders know how things are going.
Click "Follow-Up Logs" in the menu.
A form will pop up.
Choose which milestone you're reporting on. Milestones are grouped by status (Active, Pending, Completed).
Include:
Your log is saved and leaders can see it!
For Leaders (VP, President, Teacher Lead):
You can choose special templates like "Weekly Progress Report" or "Incident Report" that have extra structure.
Leaders can print professional reports to share with others.
The printed report includes:
Security Protection
HonorHQ automatically signs you out after 30 minutes of inactivity to keep your account safe.
If you don't move your mouse, type, scroll, or click for 30 minutes, you'll be signed out automatically.
One minute before automatic sign-out, a yellow warning banner appears at the top of the screen.
Click the "Stay Signed In" button on the warning banner to reset the timer and continue working.
Any activity (mouse movement, clicking, typing, scrolling) automatically resets the 30-minute timer.
