Data Insights—gives you in-depth details on your school supply lists, helping to simplify your list management!*
There’s plenty to love about this feature. As you explore the possibilities, here are our favorite ways to use Data Insights:
Learning how families used your lists
An exciting feature of Data Insights is the direct feedback you get from families. Here, you can see:
- The number of families who signed up to receive notifications that their supply list is ready
- How many views your school supply lists received
- How many families used both the In-store shopping checklist and the e-commerce retail buttons
- NEW: Language translation activity (tracking began Oct. 2025) to support all families.
See how your school community used your lists so you can share them more effectively and understand the shopping habits for your families.
Share your lists to help families prepare
Make it easy for families to find your supply lists and get prepared before school starts. Here’s how:
1. Share Your Lists Early
Many families start back-to-school shopping early and spread out their purchases. Upload and share your lists as soon as they’re ready so families can plan ahead and avoid the last-minute rush.
2. Add TeacherLists to Your School or District Website
Make your lists easy to find right where families look first—your school or district website.
- Display TeacherLists on your website: Add an iframe directly on your site for simple family access.
- Add a TeacherLists banner: Link families to your lists with a clickable TeacherLists banner.
TIP: Share your lists via school newsletters, social media, and family communication apps. The more places families see them, the more prepared they’ll be for the first day of school!
Staying organized
Data Insights are here to help you stay organized throughout the entire school year, whether you’re scheduling your school supply lists to post over the summer or taking down inactive lists from last year. Helpful figures include:
- The number of published supply lists
- Evergreen lists
- Lists scheduled to be published
With these numbers in one central place, you can keep track of all the moving parts in real time, ensuring that no school supply list gets lost in the back-to-school shuffle! For example, if you know your school should have 18 lists, you’ll be able to track your school’s progress and ensure that every supply list is published before your set deadline.
Additionally, when a scheduled supply list is published, the “Scheduled Supply List” figure will go down, and the “Supply Lists” number will increase––no more tracking down a specific list to double-check.
