🔍 Missing Info Finder

Find colleges and dorms with gaps in high-value fields. Click any field chip to fix it inline. Most-missing rows surface first so you can fix the highest-leverage gaps.

📅 Housing Page Freshness

Lottery rules, deadlines, and class-year cohorts shift year-over-year — this panel flags colleges whose "How housing selection works" narrative is overdue for a re-review.

🧠 User Behavior

👤 User Stats

🔍 Search Analytics

🔍 Search Misses

Zero-result searches from /api/typeahead — students typed these into the home hero / header search and we returned nothing. Each row is a literal demand signal for a school or dorm to add.

🧩 Wizard Submissions

Every room logged through the Add-a-Room wizard, with live completeness — photos, comments, filled structured fields, and whether we can reach the contributor by email. Confirms nothing is dropped, shows exactly what each person added, and surfaces where they could add more. Click any row to see the full detail (fields, photos, comments, rating, contributor).

📈 Community Contributions

Genuine user contributions over time — corrections, wizard submissions, reviews, photo uploads, and comments. Excludes admin/system entries (including the April 2026 bulk correction load). New dorm/college additions are omitted until user-vs-admin attribution is tracked.

🩺 Surface health

Last row seen per input surface, with the anonymous / signed-in split. Quiet means nothing in the window — which may be a broken form or simply an unused feature. Either way it is now visible instead of invisible.

🌳 Referral Analytics

Two views: By User shows who referred whom person-to-person; By Campaign shows admin-created tracking links (Reddit posts, FB groups, college newspaper pitches, etc.) with click + signup detail per link.

👥 Activity Log

Every user submission and moderator action is recorded here. Use the tabs to switch between user contributions and moderator decisions, or view all in one place. User Contributions excludes staff: a contribution made by an admin or moderator appears under Moderator Actions, so the first tab answers "what are real users adding?" (357 rows) rather than reflecting our own work back (4,772 of the old 5,223 were the owner's own account).

📊 Content Quality

Correction approval rates by college. Low approval rates may indicate spam submissions or ambiguous field descriptions. Sorted lowest-quality first.

🔍 Recent Submissions

All new content across every type — reviews, comments, tips, packing items, highlights — in one chronological feed. Use this when running in post-moderation mode (Moderation OFF, Guest Mode ON): content goes live immediately and you review after the fact. Click Remove to soft-delete anything inappropriate.

Public mode: ranks all users by total points (reviews + photos + corrections + accepted suggestions). Mod-curation mode: ranks moderators+admins by approve/reject actions only — does NOT count their own submissions.

🎓 Users by school

Where our accounts say they are. Chose it means the person picked their school on their profile or the signup prompt. .edu match and signup form were filled in by the backfill from an email domain or a registration field — informative, but not someone telling us. The three columns on the right answer a different question — whether those accounts are actually here. Active counts any sign of life: a signed-in page view, a sign-in, a logged action or a contribution. Contributors is anyone who has ever added a review, photo, correction, tip or highlight. Someone reading while signed out is invisible to all of these, so treat them as a floor rather than a full count. Click a school to see its people, or a column heading to sort.

🛡 Blocked IPs & Words

All email campaigns are off by default. Toggle them on here when you're ready to send. Templates can also be edited below.

Manage email digest preferences for all admins and moderators. You can set frequency (off/hourly/daily/twice-daily) and enable/disable digest emails per recipient.

Who pays us. Every offer belongs to one partner, so pausing a partner takes all of its offers off the site at once without editing them one by one.

One thing to show, plus the rules that say where. Inside a rule kind any single match is enough; across kinds every kind you have set must match. A kind with no rule does not constrain the offer at all.

Surfaces

Page type and format are fixed by the code that renders each surface — an offer only appears here if it declares this surface's format. Match strength is the weakest targeting that earns a slot: any match accepts an offer targeted only at the visitor's home state, college's own state needs the page's college to be in the offer's state list, strong only needs a dorm hook, a radius or a named college.

📍 Campus Buildings

Add key campus buildings for each college. DormScouter calculates walking distances from each dorm using their lat/lng coordinates.

💡 Tip: Find lat/lng by right-clicking any location on Google Maps and selecting "What's here?"

☕ Campus Eateries

Cafés, grab-n-go, food trucks, convenience stores, and other ancillary food locations that live outside residence halls. For full-service meal-swipe dining halls (Valentine, Morrison, etc.), use the Dining Halls panel instead.

💡 Tip: Eateries with lat/lng coordinates show distance from each dorm on the public dorm pages.

⏰ Scheduled Jobs

Background jobs that run automatically. Change frequency with the dropdown — takes effect immediately. Toggle the switch to pause a job. ▶ Run now fires it immediately regardless of schedule.

🌱 Deploy guard runs

Every script in the deploy guard tier — when it last ran and whether it succeeded. Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds while this tab is open.
