Understanding Standard Panels
There are two different types of Panels in your Impact Suite:
- Standard Panels, and
- Custom Panels.
Standard Panels hold information needed to run your Impact Suite smoothly and are already created by the America Learns Team. These panels have some limitations and perform important tasks. This table describes your Standard Panels.
These Terms might be different in your Impact Suite. (See this article for more information.)
| Standard Panel Name | Limitations | Customization Capabilities |
| Name & Contact Details | This panel cannot be moved. It stays at the top of the page to help keep this important info top-of-mind. | This is the ONLY Standard Panel to which you can add sub-panels, context blocks, and fields. |
| Site Assignment | You cannot add sub-panels, context blocks, or fields to this panel. | This panel can be moved, and you can make Site Assignment a **requirement when enrolling new reporters. |
Time Sheet Settings (Only visible to organizations invested in Time Sheets.) | You cannot add sub-panels, context blocks, or fields to this panel. | This panel can be moved, and you can make the Time Sheet Association a **requirement when enrolling new reporters. |
Associations & Your Groups (Only visible to organizations invested in Data+ using Type 1 Associations and Groups.) | You cannot add sub-panels, context blocks, or fields to this panel. | This panel can be moved, and you can make the Type 1 Association assignments a ^^requirement when enrolling new reporters. |
Report Completion (Only visible to organizations invested in Data+ using Reporting & Forms.) | You cannot add sub-panels, context blocks, or fields to this panel. | There are no customizations beyond creating Current and Historical Completion Rates. |

Understanding Custom Panels
You have the freedom to create an unlimited number of Custom Panels to house context blocks, sub-panels, and fields. The only place you aren't able to move a Custom Panel is to the top of the profile, as the Name & Contact details panel lives in that space.
