General Settings

The General Settings page allows organisation administrators to configure the basic details and preferences for the organisation portal.

Accessing General Settings​

  1. Navigate to Settings > General from the main menu.
  2. Only users with the Admin role can access and modify settings.

Available Settings​

Organisation Name​

The display name for your organisation. This appears in the portal header, reports, and any communications generated by the system.

To update:

  1. Edit the Organisation Name field.
  2. Click Save.

Organisation Details​

Additional details about your organisation, which may include:

  • Contact Email -- The primary contact email for the organisation.
  • Address -- The organisation's primary address.
  • Phone Number -- Contact phone number.

These details are for internal reference and may appear on exported reports.

Timezone​

Set the timezone used for displaying dates and times throughout the portal. This ensures reports and timestamps align with your organisation's local time.

Academic Year Configuration​

Configure the start and end dates for the academic year. This affects how reporting periods are calculated and how term-based filters work.

Saving Changes​

After making any changes:

  1. Review your updates.
  2. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
  3. A confirmation message will appear once the settings have been saved.

Changes take effect immediately across the organisation portal.

Notes​

  • Only Admin users can modify general settings. Viewer users cannot access the settings page.
  • Changing the organisation name does not affect connected school names -- each school maintains its own name independently.
