How to Use the Helperbird Admin Dashboard

Learn how to use the Helperbird admin dashboard for license management, usage tracking, and reporting. Monitor adoption across your school or district.

What is the Admin Dashboard?

The Helperbird admin dashboard gives administrators a clear view of how Helperbird is being used across their school or district. It shows total users, usage trends, and which features are being used most.


What You Can See

The dashboard includes:

Yearly Breakdown

Total users, total views, and overall adoption for the current year.

Last Week

New users and uninstalls from the past 7 days so you can track week-over-week growth.

Last 14 Days

New users and uninstalls from the past two weeks.

Last Quarter

New users and uninstalls from the past 90 days for a longer-term view of adoption.

Recent Users

A list of the most recent users, showing their domain and how many times they have used Helperbird. This helps you see which schools and organizational units are actively using the extension.

Most Used Features

A breakdown of which Helperbird features are being used most. This helps you understand how students and staff are benefiting from the tool.


License Management

Helperbird licenses are managed through Google Admin Console or Microsoft Intune, not through the Helperbird dashboard itself. This integrates directly with your existing device and user management workflows.

Google Admin Console:

  1. Go to Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions.
  2. Select the organizational unit you want to license.
  3. Force-install Helperbird and add your subscription key to the JSON policy.
  4. All users in that OU are automatically licensed.

Microsoft Intune:

  1. Push the Helperbird extension and subscription key to your target user groups or devices.
  2. Helperbird activates automatically on managed devices.

When you add or remove users from your organizational unit or device group, their Helperbird access updates automatically. There is no separate license assignment step inside Helperbird.


How to Access the Dashboard

The admin dashboard is set up for your organization by the Helperbird team. Contact us at Helperbird support and we will get your dashboard ready.

Once set up, you will receive a link to access your dashboard. The dashboard updates automatically and does not require any installation.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!

I purchased this for my daughter who has been having a lot of difficulty accessing the online work set remotely by her teachers during our National Lockdown because of Covid-19. Her dyslexia was really hindering her ability to complete tasks and keep up which in turn led to increased anxiety levels...a really horrid place to be in during a global pandemic! Helper bird has been a vast help and I fully recommend it and wish more schools knew about it. Thank You Helper Bird.

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.
