Steps to Set-Up Drop-In

For students to use the drop-in mode in Penji, you must set up the following items: 

• Step 1: Enable Drop-In 
• Step 2: Upload the courses CSV
• Step 3: Certify Providers and upload a Provider CSV
• Step 4: Upload a location CSV 
• Step 5: Set up provider hours

Step 1: Enable Drop-In

Before you can set up Drop-In, you need to enable the Drop-In mode. You will know if the Drop-In mode is enabled if you see the "Drop-In" heading on the admin panel. See the below screenshots. The Drop-In mode is disabled in the left image and enabled in the right.

           

To enable Drop-In, navigate to settings > Drop-In > Drop-In mode enabled > set this to enable. This is further described in the help center article, Admin Panel Drop-In Settings. 

Step 2: Courses

How to set up your course list can be found in the article, Admins: Courses (or Topics) Setup. These courses will be used across all modes of Penji (appointments, events, sections, and Drop-In).

Step 3: Providers

How to set up your Providers can be found in the article, Admins: Providers Setup (Tutors, Advisors, Coaches, etc.). These will be the eligible Providers across all modes of Penji (appointments, events, sections, and Drop-In).

Step 4: Locations

How to set up your locations can be found in the article, Adjusting Drop-In Locations.

Step 5: Adding Provider Hours

Either your providers can add their own hours, described in the article, Providers: Setting Up & Editing Hours, or you can add hours from the admin website, described in the article, Managing Provider Drop-In Hours.
