Documentation FAQ
Answers for school leaders, administrators, and IT teams evaluating or rolling out Schoolyi.
What is Schoolyi documentation?+
Schoolyi docs are free guides for school management software - admissions, student information system (SIS), fees, exams, timetable, parent portal, and go-live checklists. Written in plain English for administrators, teachers, finance, and IT teams.
Do I need to sign in to read the documentation?+
No. All school ERP and SIS documentation at /docs is public. Browse setup guides, module workflows, and role playbooks without an account.
Who are these school software guides written for?+
Platform administrators, admissions officers, bursars, teachers, HR staff, and IT teams implementing cloud school management systems for K-12 day and boarding schools.
How is the school management documentation organized?+
Thirteen sections: getting started, platform access, admissions, students & families, teaching, grades, exams, fees, operations, communication, school website, security, and deployment - 140+ articles with flow diagrams.
How does school management software compare to spreadsheets?+
A cloud SMS keeps one academic calendar, one student roster, and role-based access across modules - so attendance, fees, and grades stay aligned. Docs show how modules connect instead of isolated Excel files.
Can I get help implementing school ERP after reading the docs?+
Yes. Contact Schoolyi for a guided walkthrough or phased rollout. Most schools start with admissions, roster, and online fee collection, then add timetable, exams, and HR.
Does the documentation cover parent portal and online fee payment?+
Yes. Dedicated guides cover parent portal setup, magic-link sign-in, online fee collection, receipt PDFs, transport tracking, and exam result publishing to families.
Is this documentation good for SEO and Google search?+
Every article has keyword-focused titles, meta descriptions, FAQ schema, and internal links to buyer guides. Search for topics like fee management software, admissions pipeline, or timetable software to find relevant pages.
