Step-by-step guide

Use the Today command center

Today helps teachers start from the current class day, see what needs attention, and open the next safe local action.

Teacher goal

What should I check first when I open GuroAssist today?

Use this guide when this is the task in front of you. Stop if the selected class, learner, role, school year, file, or output does not match.

In-app path

  1. Today

Get ready

Check the starting point

These are the minimum conditions for the workflow to make sense.

Before you start

Estimated time: About 5–10 minutes

  • A saved class or local task to review
  • The current day or term shown by the app
  • Time to resolve any blocked item before opening dependent work

You should see

Today shows the active class-day work, the next safe action, and any item that still needs attention.

Steps

Complete the task in order

Review choice points, save or preview behavior, and any stop condition before continuing.

  1. Today command center showing a setup-blocked class state.View full size
    Sample data only. Resolve setup before using class-day actions. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 1

    Confirm the laptop date, then open Today

    Confirm the laptop date first because Today uses it without printing a separate date heading on this screen. Choose Today. If no class is ready, the screen shows the setup blocker and recovery action instead of pretending class-day work is available.

  2. Today class list filtered to items that need attention.View full size
    Sample data only. Filtering changes what is shown, not the saved class data. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 2

    Choose the class and narrow attention when needed

    Select the intended class row. Use Search classes or Needs attention to narrow the list. Confirm the selected row's grade, curriculum, learner count, and Today status before using its action.

  3. Today with selected class, readiness chips, next action, and output-safety message.View full size
    Sample data only. The selected class details explain why the next action is recommended. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 3

    Read attendance, schedule, lesson, grade, support, and file signals

    Read the selected class Today line and the What to do next panel. Check attendance, scheduled subject and time, assessments or grade gaps, lesson status, support attention, and output safety. A blocked output or missing setup message must be resolved before generation.

  4. Compact Today layout with the selected class next action and related Go to buttons.View full size
    Sample data only. Open the action that matches the stated reason, not an unrelated tool. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 4

    Open the safest next action

    Choose Take attendance, Review setup, or the representative Go to action for Gradebook, Lesson, Support, or Forms and outputs. The picture identifies the available destination controls. Complete and save the linked task in that destination before returning.

  5. Class Overview used to cross-check attendance, grade, support, recognition, and local-file signals after linked work.View full size
    Sample data only. The matching Overview signal is the verification target after a linked task is saved. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 5

    Confirm the saved result in class Overview

    After saving the destination task, open the same class Overview and read the corresponding attendance, grade, support, recognition, or local-file signal. This picture is the downstream verification screen. If its state did not change, reopen the linked tool and check whether Save completed.

Review

Check these before relying on the work

These checks cover saved, previewed, generated, and teacher-review states.

  • Date and class match the work

    The visible day and class should match the real class period before relying on any signal.

  • Learner list is ready

    Daily actions are more reliable when the roster has the expected learners and required details.

  • Paid status is understood

    Today can point to local work in Free, but generated files and live AI need Paid where supported and credits for live AI.

  • Output labels stay honest

    Treat files as local, draft, final, official-ready, or blocked based on the readiness shown by the app.

Blocked states and recovery

Fix the blocker before continuing

Use the direct recovery action when GuroAssist is waiting for setup, data, access, policy, or file readiness.

  • No class is ready

    Create or choose a class and add learners before using class-day shortcuts.

    After recovery: The intended class appears in the workspace header and the task uses that class.

    Review roster help
  • Required setup is missing

    Some shortcuts stay unavailable until class details, learners, subjects, schedule, templates, or grades are complete.

    After recovery: The intended class appears in the workspace header and the task uses that class.

    Review roster help
  • Generated work is not ready

    Paid access does not bypass missing templates, incomplete grades, class setup, or school-year readiness.

    After recovery: The intended class appears in the workspace header and the task uses that class.

    Open activation help

Safety note

Today is a local command center for teacher decisions. It should guide the next safe action without promising that every item is final or official-ready.

Finish

Verify the result

Do not treat a saved screen or generated filename as proof that the work is ready.

You’re done when

Today shows the active class-day work, the next safe action, and any item that still needs attention.
