Getting Around Trio

Trio has the same layout on every page: the sidebar on the left, and the top bar with the notification bell and your user menu. This article shows where each one is. For what the home page shows, see Your Dashboard.

The sidebar

The sidebar lists the parts of Trio. You see only the items for your role:

Dashboard, Calendar, Students, Families, Events, Group Lessons, Composition Library, Lending Library, Reports and Messages: every team role
Applications: owners, admins and staff
Billing, Expenses and Settings: owners and admins
Lesson Notes: owners, admins and teachers
Owner Settings: the owner only

Under these items, the Help & Support group holds Tools, Support (owners and admins), Send feedback and Help.

To make the sidebar narrow, click Collapse sidebar (the double arrow at the top). The sidebar then shows icons only. Click Expand sidebar to open it again.

On a phone, tap Open menu at the top left to open the sidebar.

Search

Click Search... at the top of the sidebar, or press ⌘K on a Mac (Ctrl+K on Windows). Type a name to find students, families and invoices. Click a result to open it.

With an empty search box, Quick Actions offers Add Student, Schedule Lesson, Send Message and Take Attendance. Staff do not see Add Student.

Click your picture or initials at the top right. The menu has:

My Profile
Notification Settings

Manage Availability, for people who teach

The notification bell

The bell in the top bar shows your notifications, with a count of the unread ones. See Notification Settings.

Help and Ask Trio

Help in the Help & Support group opens this help center. Send feedback sends a note to the Trio team. To open a support ticket, see Getting Help and Sending Feedback.
Ask Trio answers questions about Trio and about running your studio. On a computer, click the sparkle button at the bottom right. On a phone, open the menu and tap Ask Trio. The button does not show on the Messages page. See Ask Trio Assistant.
