Introduction to the Admin Panel

Admins - Your Data Dashboard and Admin Panel

The data dashboard and admin panel can be reached at http://admin.penjiapp.com. As a reminder, an admin can invite other admins, and add as many as they would like. Each community has its own data dashboard and admin panel view independent of all other communities at the school.

Data Dashboard

The Data Dashboard is a collection of charts and tools we've given you to visualize your data. It is a growing set of reports with adjustable filters that are viewed in real-time (rather than configuring and exporting to PDF). The Data Dashboard is derived from your session and check-in detail. More information on each tab within the dashboard can be found within Admins: Data Dashboard.

Admin Panel

The admin panel is shown in the above image, the left-hand side menu, and has the following tabs:

1. Students
   This tab shows a list of students who've signed into Penji at least once, as well as presents the ability to upload a list of students who are eligible for your community.
   
   
2. Courses (can be renamed, for example to Topics, Categories, etc.) 
   Students will search for support in a given course or topic, which come from the dataset you'll view and upload on this tab. This data can be automatically imported from IT if desired.
   • Admins: Courses (or Topics) Setup
     
     
3. Providers (can be renamed, for example to Tutors, Advisors, Coaches, etc.)
   You'll add eligible providers on this tab, certifying them for certain courses/topics along the way. When these users arrive in Penji, they are welcomed as a provider, and after they input some available hours, they'll show up for students to work with in any given mode.
   • Admins: Provider Setup (Tutors, Advisors, Coaches, etc.)
     
     
4. Posts
   This tab will only appear if you are using Penji Pathways. More information on Pathways can be found in the article, Introduction to Penji Pathways.
5. Locations (Sessions)
   View and upload locations which you'd like to host appointments and sections at.
   • Admins: Set-Up Appointments Mode
     
     
6. Sections
   View and upload Sections (group sessions, led by a provider) for students to join; also upload student invites to these groups to auto-send email invitations and pre-populate the attendance log that the provider will complete for each session.
   • Admins: Set-Up Sections (Groups) Mode
     
     
7. Sessions
   This tab contains the records (data) from the Appointments and Sections modes. Each row represents a single students interaction with that mode, eg. Jennifer, CHEM 1133, SI Section 3, Joined ____, Marked as Present, Feedback:, etc.
   • Admins: Data Collection - Sessions Tab
     
     
8. Locations (Drop-in)
   A unique set of locations for drop-in support. These locations have special characteristics and settings like a Kiosk URL that can be opened on your front-desk computer.
   • Admins: Set-Up Drop-In Mode
     
     
9. Provider Hours (Drop-in)
   View drop-in hours that providers have added to each location, and view provider check-ins / check-outs to these rooms (ie. clocking in and out for their shifts).
   
   
10. Check-Ins
    This is where you'll find your drop-in data, a record of student check-ins to your various locations.
