The Help (E) link is a great way to learn more about any aspect of Connect in more detail. The help tool is context sensitive and, to save you time, will display initial results based on the area of Connect in which you are working.
The Library (A) provides access to additional resources related to your course, including the Connect Plus eBook (if available) and instructor resources, such as the textbook instructor manual, PowerPoint Presentations, etc. Other resources, such as pre-made assignments and student self-quiz and study plans, may be available based upon the title you're using in Connect.
Note that students will typically have access to "student resources" in their library tab, which provides an opportunity for additional study beyond what you've assigned within Connect. This is a great resource for students who ask for additional help.
Click the Performance tab and select Reports (A) to see all available reports based on your section and courses data. If you have the gradebook option for your course, you'll be able to access this here.
There is nothing you need to do to set up data collection in Connect reports. Any assignment created in Connect has student results automatically recorded. You simply choose the report you want to run and select the desired options and settings.
