Admins: General Settings

Some settings will be controlled by Penji and some will be controlled through the Admin Panel. If you would like to change/update a Penji controlled setting, please email [e-mail] to update the setting. Please include what school and community you would like this to apply to. 

Unavailable times (Admin Panel)

Use this to close the center for holidays, breaks, or other reasons. Students won't be able to book appointments, join Sections, or attend drop-in hours. For recurring sessions that land on an unavailable date, the system will skip that event and schedule the next one. 

In the above example, the community is closed from Dec 19 2021 through Jan 3 2022 until 8 AM. Meaning, students will be able to book appointments and attend drop-in hours after 8 AM on January 3rd.

Note, if a session has already been scheduled, unavailable times will not cancel an existing session. You will want to cancel those manually. 

Student eligibility (Admin Panel)

"Everyone" means anyone that has access to your school (ie. anyone with an @yourcollege.edu email) will also see your community. "Use List" means you must upload a list of students in the Students -> Manage tab who will see your community (useful for private communities like athletics, TRIO-SSS, etc.).

Note, any tutors uploaded through the CSV file import will also be included as eligible users within the "Use List" setting. 

Learn screen buttons (Admin Panel)

Here you have the ability to edit the custom learn screen buttons shown to students. Within this setting you can:

• Add new custom buttons
• Edit current buttons (the label and the URL)
• Delete custom buttons
• Rearrange custom buttons
  • Either above or below the available modes of support 
  • Reorder the custom buttons within themselves 

Admin Users (Admin Panel)

Anyone who has admin access can add or remove admin users. When you add a new Penji Account as an admin, the new user will get an email with a link to create their Penji account and accept admin access. That email will be shown under the "Invites" header, shown above, until they have accepted their invitation.

If the new admin already has a Penji Account, all they need to do is log in to https://admin.penjiapp.com/ with the same Penji credentials as from http://web.penjiapp.com. Every Penji user has the same account but is given different "roles". Penji has three roles: Admin, Student, and Provider.
