Admin's Guide to Getting Started
Getting started as an admin on Knowt.
Just started the process for Admin Onboarding? We’re here to help you get started!
Accessing your admin account
First Step
Create your account through the invite sent to you. Use the school email you received the invite through; if you don’t see an invite, please email schools@knowt.com for assistance.
Adding schools into your district
First Step
To begin adding schools into your district, click the green “Add my Schools” button.
Second Step
Fill in the appropriate information about the district and its respective schools (state, zip code, etc). It is very important that you consider adding every school in your district; students will be picking their school from these choices, and it would be best to have their school listed in the options.
Third Step
To add more than 3 schools into the district, click the plus button next to “Add School” at the bottom of the screen.
Fourth Step
Click save at the bottom right of the screen once finished.
Student sharing
Next, choose if you want to enable sharing for your students (it is off by default). Sharing is the ability for the students to make their flashcard sets and notes public - enable this feature and students can send links to their friends to share their notes. Enabling sharing is still privacy compliant, as it hides the student if they send a link. Follow the steps below to begin!
Enable Sharing
If you would like to enable sharing, select the “allow sharing” option.
Disable Sharing
If you do not want to enable sharing, select the “no sharing” option.
Internal Sharing
If you want to permit sharing only inside of the organization, which allows for students within the org to send links to each other based on their school (still privacy compliant), you must be on a Knowt plan already. This setting can be accessed in the admin dashboard settings after completing the onboarding process!
Continue
Click next at the bottom right of the screen to continue.
Student purchasing
Next, choose if you want to enable purchasing for your students (it is off by default). Purchasing allows students to purchase plans on Knowt - if enabled, they will be able to buy a plan. Follow the steps below to begin!
Disable Purchasing
If you do not want to enable purchasing, select the “no purchasing” option.
Enable Purchasing
If you would like to enable purchasing, select the “allow purchasing” option.
Per School Purchasing
If you want to permit purchasing based on each school, select the “choose per school” option.
Continue
Click next at the bottom right of the screen to continue.
Licensing and quotes
Lastly, explore Knowt’s plans and get a quote to see the prices!
Get a Quote
If you want a quote to learn about the plans and pricing, select the “I want to get a quote” option.
Skip Quote
If you do not want a quote, select the “Don’t want a quote” option.
Continue
Click next on the bottom right of the screen.
Enter License Amount
If you selected the “I want to get a quote” option, you will be prompted to input the amount of teacher/student licenses you will need. The plan prices will vary depending on the number of licenses (more licenses will save you more on the plans)!
Pick a Plan
Click the “pick this plan” button for your desired choice.
Select Integrations
Next, you will be asked to select any additional integrations with an LMS or SSO, which you can click on to add. Keep in mind that there is an extra cost for these integrations, which will be displayed on your quote as well.
Quote Sent
Click next at the bottom right of the screen.
Your quote will be sent in 24 hours!
