Understanding settings

What it's for

Settings is where you configure how your academy works — from who's allowed to do what, to the documents families sign, to your Skooly plan. This article maps out what's in Settings so you can find the right area.

Where to find it

Open Settings from the main menu. The side menu groups everything into sections — Academy, Operational, Notifications, Integrations, and Billing & Plans.

What's in Settings

Academy — your academy's identity and structure: Academy Info, Branding, Academic Structure, Locations, Facilities, and Roles & Permissions.

Operational — day-to-day rules: People Settings, Booking & Policy Settings, Calendar Settings, Attendance Settings, Finance Settings, Legal Agreements, and Data.

Notifications — the automatic emails your academy sends (Automated Notifications).

Integrations — connecting other tools.

Billing & Plans — your Skooly subscription.
