Finding your way around the Admin Panel

A quick tour of the Admin Panel's grouped navigation.

Written by Sevgi Sairoglu Sezginer

The Admin Panel groups everything into collapsible sections in the left-hand navigation, so related tools sit together instead of being spread across one long list. This article gives an admin a quick map of where things live and why they're grouped the way they are. (confirm exact group membership against the app)

The groups

  • Dashboard - your at-a-glance overview when you first log in to the Admin Panel.

  • Reports - the Engagement report and, when it's on, the Delivery report. This is where you go for the numbers, not the day-to-day management.

  • Structure - Directorates, Teams and Members - how your organisation is set up and who belongs where.

  • Delivery - Activities, and (when on) Contracts and Commitments. This is the "what's actually happening on the ground" group.

  • Engagement - Opportunities, Applications, Participants and Feedback Forms - everything to do with people signing up and taking part.

  • Measurement - Measure Logs, Donation Logs and Volunteer Hour Logs - the underlying records that feed your reports.

  • Settings - where you configure your app, including which features and modules are switched on.

Each section can be expanded or collapsed, so if you mainly work in one or two areas (say, Engagement and Reports), you can collapse the rest to keep your navigation short.

📌 Note: Some items only appear when their feature is switched on - for example Donations, Measures, and Contracts & Commitments. If you don't see an item mentioned here, check whether the underlying feature is enabled for your app first, rather than assuming it's missing.
