Getting Started with Edly Panel

An Introduction to Navigating and Managing Your Edly Platform

Overview

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

Note: Access to the Edly Panel is restricted to specific administrative roles: Panel User, Panel Admin, and Insights Viewer. To access the Edly Panel with an authorized role, please reach out to your Admin Panel administrator. 

The five sections of Edly Panel

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

Edly Panel is categorized into five sections:

  • 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

    This section is used for site-level user control.

    • 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.

Getting Started: Pro Tip for New Admins

If you are a new admin, start by visiting the Dashboard to review your current MAU (Monthly Active Users). This will help you understand your platform's scale before you begin bulk user imports. Once you have reviewed your MAU, proceed to User Management to configure roles and import users as needed.
