Institution settings determine shared values used in school pages and messages. Review these values before inviting users or sending operational communications.
Before you begin
- Only an authorized Institution Admin should change shared settings.
Confirm branding and date presentation on both desktop and a narrow screen.
-
Open System Settings
Sign in with Institution Admin access and open System Settings from the navigation or profile menu.
-
Review the school identity
Confirm the school name, logo, contact details, email footer, and any configured branded portal URL. Use approved artwork and official contact information.
-
Set the time zone and date display
Choose the school time zone and the date format used for user-facing dates. The recommended display convention for this documentation is DD-MM-YYYY.
-
Save and verify
Save each setting and review a page, notification preview, or email flow that uses it. Reopen settings to confirm the persisted value.
Incorrect identity, time zone, or email details can confuse users and affect school communications.
Display versus stored values
A date display setting changes how supported dates are presented to people. It does not change the underlying stored records or machine-readable date values.
A time-zone change can affect how scheduled events are displayed. Review upcoming schedules before changing it.
Email and branded portal links
The configured school identity may appear in invitation and notification email. Test delivery using an authorized school account and confirm links open the expected institution portal.
