Customizable areas of a PowerSchool SMS system

A feature area is a group of schemas [>>] and their associated pages, panels, and fields [>>] all of which have related capabilities and purpose. PowerSchool SMS provides several feature areas that are customizable.

In some feature areas it is possible for the administrator to add custom pages with panels and fields; in others, panels and fields can only be added to the existing pages built into PowerSchool SMS, as described in [Table 120].
