General settings

The academy’s name as everyone sees it, where it is, and the time zone its days are counted in.

Owners and admins can change these. So can anyone whose role, under My Academy, has Settings set to Manage, and who works in all of the academy’s locations. Anyone else who can open the page, such as someone with Settings set to View, sees Save Settings greyed out.

What each setting changes

Section titled “What each setting changes”
  • Academy Name. The name at the top of the sidebar and on your card.
  • Current slug: under the name does not change when you rename the academy, so links to your academy keep working.
  • Timezone. Which day is today on the Home screen, and where each month begins and ends in staff attendance.
  • Governorate, under Location, is where your academy is: one of Egypt’s governorates. Learners filter the Explore directory and the learners app by it, and your card shows it when your branches name no city. Not set leaves you out of that filter.
  • Preferred Language is the academy’s own setting. Each person still chooses the language they read Tuevia in, from the language menu at the top of the screen.
