Welcome to Andrómeda
Andrómeda is the platform your school uses to communicate with families and run its day-to-day work: groups, teachers, students, messages, report cards and everything you publish for families to see.
It has two sides:
The panel
This website, and where you work. It's where information is loaded, messages are sent, teachers' messages are approved and reports are reviewed.
The app
What families, teachers and students have on their phones. It's where everything you send from the panel arrives, and where teachers add their activities and events.
This documentation is about the panel. You don't need any technical knowledge to follow it.
How it's organised
Before you start, it helps to understand three words that come up on every screen, because everything else rests on them.
The school
Your whole institution. It has a name, contact details and a subscription plan. It's the top level: everything else hangs from it.
Levels
The main divisions of the school: Early Years, Primary, Secondary, or whatever your institution calls them. Each level is a separate world: it has its own groups, teachers, students and messages. What happens in one doesn't mix with another.
Groups
The classes, courses or sections within a level: "3rd A", "Green Room", "Year 5 Economics". This is the most important piece of the system. Students belong to groups, teachers are assigned to groups, and almost everything else —messages, activities, report cards, events— is organised around them.
It's almost always because you're standing in a different level. There's a selector at the top left showing which one you're working in. That's the first thing to check.
Who uses the panel, and for what
Not everyone sees the same thing. Andrómeda shows each person only what matches their role:
| Role | What they manage |
|---|---|
| School administrator | The whole school: creates levels, adds panel users, edits the school's details and handles the plan and billing. |
| Level administrator | The day-to-day of one or more levels: groups, people, messages, report cards, content and reports. This is the most-used role. |
| Coordinator | Academic work only: activities, submissions and report cards. |
| Accounting | Administrative management only: income, expenses, cash and collection reports. |
One person can hold more than one role, and can manage more than one level. In that case they switch between them with the selector, without signing in again.
