How To Set Up A New School Account

Step 1 – Your School Dashboard

Welcome to your “New School” on Oaka Digital! To get started you’ll need to configure a few things. If you get stuck or need help, just contact us and we’ll sort it for you!

This is your School Dashboard. You’ll see four tabs: About, Members, Reports, and Settings. You’ll see two boxes that are important – About and Members. In the header bar of each of those two boxes you’ll see a little pencil icon – hover over the pencil to access the Edit/Manage screens.

As School Administrator, you are the only person who can edit the school settings, unless you invite extra School Administrators.

Step 2 – Configure

Click on the Settings tab. You’ll see three fields for you to edit:

Name: replace with your school’s name

Web Address Slug: replace this with your school’s name all lower case and with no spaces

Visibility: we recommend setting this to Closed

Click Save.

Step 3 – Add Students and Teachers

Click on the pencil icon on the right of the Members box. This will trigger a pop up window as displayed in the screenshot here.

For Students:

Enter a student’s email address, select Member, click Send Invitation.

For Teachers:

Enter a teacher’s email address, select Teacher, click Send Invitation.

For adding students in bulk:

Use the Invite Link function. Click Enable Link. Copy the link and send this link to your students. They can then register themselves under your school account.
