Getting Started with Edly Panel

An Introduction to Navigating and Managing Your Edly Platform

Overview

The Edly Panel is a comprehensive management tool designed to centralize administrative tasks. Instead of jumping between different Open edX services, the Panel allows you to manage users, monitor site performance (Insights), customize the look of your site (Themes), and configure global settings—all in one place.

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 Pillars of Edly Panel

In the Ulmo release, the Panel is organized into five primary sections, each accessible from the redesigned 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 hundreds of users at once using a CSV file (optimized in Ulmo for faster processing).

  • Edly Panel Insights

    Insights provides deep-dive analytics into learner behavior and course performance.

    • 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.

User Review & Pro-Tip

If you are a new Admin, start by visiting the Dashboard to get a feel for your current MALs (Monthly Active Learners). This will help you understand your platform's scale before you begin bulk user imports.
