Working on a page

On a typical PowerSchool SMSpage, you also work with information using web-standard elements such as fields, check boxes, lists, grids, icons, buttons, and links [Figure 14] [Figure 15]. Some pages organize the contents into several collapsible panels. On many pages, it is important to save your changes before moving on to another page.
