Course Management Overview
The Courses dashboard is your central hub for creating, organizing, and managing all educational offerings within your organization.
1. Navigating the Course Dashboard
When you click on Courses from the left sidebar, you will see your main course list and a block for Upcoming Live Sessions at the top.
- Search & Filter: Use the search bar to find a specific course by name. You can also use the two dropdown menus on the right to filter your view by All Statuses (Active, Draft, Archived, Upcoming, Completed) or All Tags (e.g., HSC 27, Molipo).
- Course Table: This displays a quick overview of each course, including its Thumbnail, Name, assigned Tags, total Students enrolled, Price, Start Date, and Status.
- Quick Actions: Click the three dots (
...) in the Actions column next to any course. From this dropdown, you can access View Details, change the course Status, or navigate to Manage Modules, Manage Students, and Manage Teachers. (Note: Detailed guides on Modules, Students, and Teachers will be covered in subsequent articles).
2. Creating a New Course
To build a course from scratch, click the green + Create Course button on the top right. This opens a comprehensive dialogue box divided into six tabs. Note: Only the Course Name is strictly required to create a draft, but filling out all tabs ensures a complete setup.

Tab 5: Tags

Tab 6: Community

Once you have configured the tabs, click the green Create Course button to save it to your dashboard.
3. Importing a Course
If you have exported a course previously or are migrating data, you can import it seamlessly.
- Click the Import Course button at the top of the dashboard.
- Click Browse... to select your Course Export JSON file.
- Import Options: Check the boxes to define how the system handles existing data:
- Generate new slug if course exists
- Skip linking existing students

- Click the green Import Course button. The system will automatically restore the content and attempt to match users via email or mobile number.
4. Auto Scheduling Live Classes
If you have configured a "Class Schedule" for your active courses (as shown in Tab 3 above), you can automatically generate the live session rooms for the current day.
- Click the Auto Live Schedule button (the yellow lightning bolt icon) at the top of the dashboard.
- The system will scan all courses. If it finds classes scheduled for today, it will automatically generate the live session links for them. If none exist, it will notify you that "No classes are scheduled for today."
