Homepage

Candle's homepage was designed as clean and simple as possible, with important information in easy reach. We've split several pieces of information into cards. The various cards are detailed below.

Statistics (across the top)
These provide a quick overview of your school, including a patron, student, and teacher count for the current year. Above the statistics is your school name. This is set in the school term setup.

Quote to Ponder
Displays a short, inspirational quote that changes every week. The quotes can be modified, added, or deleted by accessing Quotable Quotes under Setup. If you have an inspirational quote that pertains to candles, we would welcome your ideas!

Our Mission
Short blurb on why our software exists.

New Users (conditional)
This card shows when new users are registered but are not assigned to a Contact. (teacher, student, father, mother, etc) Click on the users to go to the user edit page and assign a Contact.

File Box
A file-sharing system accessible to anybody registered with Candle that has at least one role, except students. (teachers, parents, librarians, nurses) New files can be uploaded by clicking the plus button on the upper right. Used data can also be seen under the card's title. A default upper limit of 2GB of file space is provided. To change this limit, please contact Olive Tree Support.

Files can be removed or Downloaded or Removed by clicking the file, then choosing the appropriate option. (only Admins, Teachers and Board Members can remove files)
