Now that you’ve set up your school details and access controls, it’s time to onboard your staff and students. This is essential to get everyone onto the platform and ensure smooth operations from Day 1.

👩‍🏫 1. Add Staff Members

Go to: Management → Staff

Start by adding all your staff — this includes:

  • Center Heads

  • Teachers

  • Support Staff (helpers, drivers, etc.)

For each staff member:

  • Assign the appropriate Role (based on what you created in Step 1)

  • Link them to a Classroom

  • Enter their contact details (either phone or email is required)

📌 Tip: Ensure roles are pre-configured under Settings → Access Control before assigning them here.

🧒 2. Add Students

Go to: Management → Students

Each student should be:

  • Added to at least one classroom

  • Linked with their parents or guardians

Once added, you can view each student’s profile and manage their records, communication, and daily logs.

🚀 Bulk Onboarding

To onboard multiple students efficiently:

  • Click the "⋮" icon (three vertical dots) in the student panel.

  • Choose Bulk Onboarding to upload a list of students in one go.

We recommend doing this if you're onboarding a large group at once.

✉️ 3. Send Invites to Staff

Once staff details are added:

Go to: Management → Staff
Click on each staff member’s profile and hit Send Invite.

They’ll receive:

  • Login credentials

  • Download links for the Illumine Web and Mobile Apps

🔐 Important: You must enter at least one contact method (email or phone number) to send invites.

4. Send Invites to Parents

Parents need access to track their child’s activities, communicate with the school, and receive updates.

Go to: Management → Students

You have two options:

  • Use the "⋮" menu to invite all parents at once

  • Or, go into each student’s profile and select Send Parent Invite

Parents will receive:

  • Their login credentials

  • A download link for the Illumine Parent App

📌 Reminder: At least one parent contact (email or phone) must be entered for each student to send invites.

🎯 You’re All Set!

Your staff and students are now on Illumine, and everyone has their login details. You're ready to start using the platform in your daily operations!
