Parent/Guardian Portal Overview

What the Parent/Guardian Portal does and how to find your way around it.

The Parent/Guardian Portal is your account home as a parent or legal guardian. It holds your children's dancer profiles, the events they are entered in, and the results and awards they have earned.

Open it at /portal/guardian, or pick Parent/Guardian on the portal selector after signing in.


What You Can Do Here

  • Create a dancer profile for a child who is new to Kompdesk
  • Claim an existing profile created by a studio or by the dancer themselves
  • Browse events and register your children for them
  • Open a child's event portal to see their schedule, entries, and results
  • View their Trophy Case: awards, placements, and certificates
  • Keep their details correct, link them to a studio, and give consent where a minor needs it

Your Dashboard

The dashboard answers one question first: what is each child doing next.

You get one card per dancer showing their name, age, studio, and their next event. From that card you can:

ButtonWhat It Does
Open (name)'s eventGoes straight into that child's portal for their next event
Register (name) for an eventShown instead when they have nothing coming up
ManageOpens that child's profile: details, studios, and event registrations

Below the cards are the less frequent actions: Browse Events, Create Dancer, and Claim Existing Dancer.

If any child is missing an ID number, a warning appears at the top of the dashboard with a link to fix it. ID numbers are required for event registration and result verification.

On a phone these are the tabs along the bottom of the screen, with More as the last tab. On a computer they are in the sidebar on the left.


Viewing One Child at a Time

If you manage two or more dancers, a Viewing row of name chips appears in the portal header. It sets which child the whole portal shows. See "Switching Between Your Dancers".


Adding vs Claiming a Dancer

ActionWhen to Use
Create DancerYour child has no profile yet. You create one, either linked to their studio with a studio code or as an independent dancer with no studio
Claim Existing DancerYour child already has a profile, created by their studio or registered as an independent dancer, and you want it on your account

Both are in the More menu, on the dashboard, and on My Dancers.
