Views and Evolver participation

What a view is

A view is a set of pages built for one way of using Stride. Each view has its own home page and its own sidebar.

• Evolver: your own learning, progress, and community.
• Manager: your team's progress and support.
• Executive: organization-wide adoption reporting.
• Admin: organization setup, content, and people, for Client Admins.
• Creator: authoring content for your organization.

Which views you can reach

Your account type decides your starting views, and a few choices add more.

• Evolver accounts open the Evolver view only.
• Manager accounts open the Manager view and the Evolver view.
• Executive accounts open the Executive view. They can add the Evolver view by joining as an Evolver, and the Manager view if they chose manager capability when they first signed in.
• Client Admin accounts open the Admin view and the Executive view. They can add the Evolver and Manager views the same way an Executive can.
• Creator access is separate from your account type. When a Client Admin gives you Creator access, a Creator view is added to the views you already have.

The view switcher

If your account can open more than one view, a view switcher at the bottom of the sidebar shows the name of the view you are in. If your account can open only one view, the switcher is hidden. It is also hidden while the sidebar is collapsed, so expand the sidebar to use it. On a phone, open the menu to reach the sidebar.

Switching views does not change your account or your access. It only changes which pages you are looking at.

1. Expand the sidebar if it is collapsed.
2. Choose the view name at the bottom of the sidebar.
3. Pick another view from the list. Stride opens that view's home page.

Join as an Evolver

Executive and Client Admin accounts are not Evolvers by default. Joining gives you the same experience every Evolver gets: a personal quest path, streaks, XP, and, when your organization has turned them on, the monthly Pulse and Check-in. You are then counted with other Evolvers in participation numbers.

• The Evolver Participation card appears only on Executive and Client Admin accounts that belong to an organization.
• Client Admin accounts use My participation to join or leave the Evolver experience, turn Manager participation on or off, and choose whether the Executive view is shown. The Admin role stays the same. Manager participation cannot be turned off while the person is a team's primary manager or has direct reports. Executive accounts keep their separate Join as an Evolver flow.

1. Open Profile and choose the Settings tab.
2. For a Client Admin account, use My participation to choose Evolver participation. For an Executive account, find Evolver Participation and choose Join as an Evolver.
3. Complete the assessment when Stride asks. Client Admins go straight to the assessment, and Executives continue through onboarding first.
4. After you join, the Evolver view appears in the view switcher.

If a view is missing

A view you expect may be missing, or the view switcher may not appear at all. That usually means your account can open only one view.

1. Expand the sidebar and look at the bottom for the view name.
2. Check that you are signed in to the right organization account.
3. If you are an Executive or Client Admin and want the Evolver view, join as an Evolver from Settings.
4. If you need the Creator view, ask your Client Admin to give you Creator access.
5. If your invitation or account is not active yet, no views open until it is. Ask your Client Admin to check your account status.
