Getting Started with Edly Panel

An Introduction to Navigating and Managing Your Edly Platform

What is the Edly Panel?

The Edly Panel is a centralized management tool for Open edX platforms. It enables administrators to manage users, monitor site performance (Insights), customize the platform's appearance (Themes), and configure global settings—all from one place, without switching between separate Open edX services.

Note: Access to the Edly Panel is restricted to three administrative roles: Panel User, Panel Admin, and Insights Viewer. To request access, contact your Edly Panel administrator. 

What are the five sections of the Edly Panel?

The Edly Panel is organized into five sections, each accessible from the sidebar:

  • Edly Panel Dashboard

    The Dashboard provides an immediate bird’s-eye view of your platform.

    • Quick Stats: Real-time data on the total number of registered learners vs. active learners.

    • Monthly Active Users (MAU): A critical metric for understanding platform engagement and billing tiers.

    • Recent Activity: A log of the most recent registrations or administrative changes.

  • Edly Panel User Management

    Use this section to manage all site-level user accounts and permissions.

    • Add/Remove Users: Manually create new accounts or deactivate existing ones.

    • Role Assignment: Assign platform-wide permissions (e.g., Staff, Admin, or Panel-specific roles).

    • Bulk Actions: Import large numbers of users at once using a CSV file.

  • Edly Panel Insights

    Insights provides deep-dive analytics into learner behavior and course performance. Access to this section requires the Insights Viewer, Panel Admin, or Panel User role.

    • Course Stats: View which courses have the highest enrollment and completion rates.

    • Learner Progress: Track how individual segments of your audience are performing across the curriculum.

  • Edly Panel Themes

    The Themes section allows you to customize the visual identity of your platform without writing code.

    • Branding: Upload your logo, favicon, and update primary brand colors.

    • Layout Controls: Adjust header and footer links and social media icons.

    • Responsiveness: Preview how your branding looks on desktop and mobile views.

  • Edly Panel Settings

    This area contains the technical configuration for your platform.

    • General Settings: Site name, contact email, and language preferences.

    • Feature Toggles: Enable or disable specific platform features like self-registration or social auth.

Where should a new admin start?

If you are a new admin, follow these steps to get oriented:

  1. Open the Dashboard and review your current Monthly Active Users (MAU). MAU reflects your platform's current scale and is tied to billing tiers — check this before importing users in bulk.
  2. Go to User Management to configure roles.
  3. Use Bulk Actions in User Management to import multiple users at once via CSV.
