First-Time Setup

First-Time Setup

Configure your school profile, academic year, classes and sections before day-to-day use.

1. School profile

Go to Settings → School Profile and fill in:

  • School name, address, phone, and email
  • Board affiliation (CBSE, ICSE, State Board, or Other)
  • Principal name
  • School logo (PNG, used on report cards and receipts)
  • Academic year start and end months

2. Classes and sections

Go to Settings → Classes & Sections. Add each class (e.g. Class 1, Class 2 … Class 12) and the sections for each (e.g. A, B, C). The system uses these throughout — attendance, examination, timetable, and fee structure all reference class and section.

3. Subjects

Go to Settings → Subjects. Add the subjects taught at your school. Map subjects to classes — which subjects are taught in which classes — so the examination module knows what marks to collect.

4. Fee structure

Go to Fee Management → Fee Structure. Define fee heads (Tuition Fee, Development Fee, Lab Fee, etc.) and assign amounts per class. This is required before any student fees can be collected.

5. Create the first admin user

The installer creates a default admin account. Go to Settings → Users & Roles and change the default password. Then create role-specific accounts for your accounts staff, admission team, and teachers.

Setup checklist complete. Once school profile, classes, subjects, fee structure, and user accounts are configured, you can start entering students and beginning day-to-day operations.
