Administrators configure two related settings surfaces under Admin Settings: the thresholds that generate performance alerts, and the schedule for the automated weekly Goal Check report. Both pages are administrator-only and are reached by direct navigation rather than the main sidebar.
These settings control when alerts fire and when reports go out. To read and act on alerts once they exist, see Attendance alerts and the Alerts overview. To read the weekly report content itself, see Goal Check reports.

​
Alert threshold settings

Navigate to /admin/settings/alerts to review and adjust the thresholds that drive Zion’s alert generation. Alerts are normally generated automatically once a day, and the alert email digest is normally sent daily at 8 AM to all administrators. From this page you can also trigger both on demand:
1

Generate alerts now

Click ‘Generate Alerts Now’ to run alert analysis immediately across all active students, instead of waiting for the daily automatic run. This requires an active subscription.
2

Send digest now

Click ‘Send Digest Now’ to email unacknowledged alerts from the last 24 hours to all administrators immediately, instead of waiting for the 8 AM send.
3

Adjust thresholds

Edit any of the threshold values below, then save. Changes apply to the next alert-generation run.

Threshold reference

Alert typeWhat it measuresDefault
Consecutive missed goalsNumber of consecutive days a student misses their goal3 days
Declining trendDrop in goal completion rate over a rolling window20% drop over 2 weeks
Subject struggleMiss rate within a single subject, once enough goals exist to be meaningful60% miss rate, minimum 5 goals
Sudden dropA sharp week-over-week fall in completion rateFrom 80% to 50% in a week
Termly goal-at-risk projectionProjected likelihood of missing a termly goal80% projection threshold
Centre low performanceAverage completion rate for a learning centre falling below the floor60%
Alert expiry windowHow long an untouched alert stays open before it auto-dismisses7 days
Lowering a percentage or day threshold makes the alert fire more often (more sensitive). Raising it makes the alert fire less often. If administrators are seeing too many low-value alerts, raise the relevant threshold rather than turning the alert type off entirely.
The alert expiry window is a global auto-dismiss setting, not a per-alert-type toggle. An alert that reaches this age without being acknowledged or resolved is automatically dismissed.

​
Weekly report settings

Navigate to /admin/settings/weekly-reports to configure the automated weekly Goal Check report.
1

Enable or disable the report

Turn the weekly report on or off. When off, no automated report is generated or sent.
2

Choose the day and time

Set the day of the week and time of day the report generates. This runs in your school’s configured timezone, the same timezone set on the school profile.
3

Manage recipients

Add or remove people on the recipient list. The list is not limited to administrators. You can include supervisors, monitors, or other stakeholders who should receive the weekly Goal Check summary by email.
The weekly report and the alert digest are separate mailings. The weekly report summarizes Goal Check progress on your chosen schedule. The alert digest is a daily 8 AM (or manually triggered) email of unacknowledged alerts.
