General Settings
The General Settings page is the central hub for your school's identity and core configuration. Here you set the school name, contact information, logos, date and time formats, domain, and roll number sorting preferences. Changes made here are reflected throughout the entire system — on the web panel, staff app, and student app.
Start here
General Settings should be the first page you configure after creating your school. The school name, logos, and contact details appear on certificates, reports, notifications, and the school website.
