# How does the control panel work?

As soon as you order the Myndr Switches, your organisation automatically gets access to the Myndr control panel. (The dashboard for the professional environment). The welcome letter explains how to activate that access.

The control panel has 2 access levels: organisation and manager.

### Organisation

As the organisation, you decide who gets to manage which switches. That can be the IT administrator, but you can also let teachers set the modes of their own switch. Several people can also manage the same switch. For example, the IT administrator and 2 part-time teachers.

As the organisation, you are not a manager of the switches. You also cannot use the same email address as organisation and as manager!

So to change modes, you will first need to create a new manager with a different email address!

Once you have completed the activation procedure and signed in to the control panel, you create a manager by taking the following steps:

- Click the "new manager" button.
- Enter the manager's name and email address.
- Click "continue".
- Tick which switch(es) this new manager may manage.
- Click "save"
- An email is sent to the manager, who is guided step by step through activating the account.

If you are creating a manager account for yourself, make sure you are signed out as organisation before you sign in as manager!

### Manager

As a manager, you can see which mode the switch is in, whether the batteries need replacing, and you can find the class code here. If you manage several switches, you will see that information for all the switches you manage straight after signing in.

If you click on a switch, you can change the name of the switch. We recommend using the name of the group or class for this. The name of the switch is also visible in the settings screen on the laptops. That way you can easily find out whether a laptop is connected to the right switch.

In the same screen, you can adjust the modes. For each mode, you can turn categories on or off by clicking on them. Some categories have subcategories. You can expand these with the arrow to the right of the category name to make more fine-grained settings.

When you are happy with the settings, click **save**.
Changes you make to the current mode are applied to the connected laptops almost immediately.
