# Using the Instructor Panel

The Instructor Panel is your **command centre** — a single place where you have everything you need to run your classes smoothly.

From the panel you can check your upcoming schedule, mark attendance, enter grades, and add notes for participants — without digging through notebooks or separate tools.

## How to get access

Before you can log in, the school must create your profile in the system and **send you an invitation by email** with a registration link. You can read more about this in the [Registering as an instructor](/en/instructor-panel/registering-as-an-instructor.md) article.

## What is in the panel?

The panel is divided into several tabs, accessible from the left-side menu.

## My calendar

The default view after logging in. Use it to see your **upcoming lessons** and open the [E-register](/en/instructor-panel/e-register-for-instructors.md) for any lesson by clicking its tile.

If the school grants you the appropriate permissions, you can also **reschedule an individual lesson** or **create a one-time class** from this view.

If you use an external calendar such as Google, Outlook, or Apple, you can sync it with your ActiveNow schedule. Read how in the [Calendar integration](/en/instructor-panel/calendar-integration-google-outlook-apple.md) article.

## Reschedule requests

When the school grants you the appropriate permissions, all of your participants' requests to reschedule individual lessons appear here. From this view you can **propose a new lesson time** or **reject a client's request**.

You can also reach a reschedule request directly from the notification bell at the top of the screen or from a push notification on your phone.

## Decisions after trial lessons

If the school offers trial lesson sign-ups, you can record here **whether a participant wants to continue** and **add a comment on their decision** after the first session.

## All my classes

A list view of **all your lessons**, divided into two categories: *Finished* and *Upcoming*.

You can sort lessons by date by clicking the *Date* column header.

Each lesson entry shows its details. If you want to update any information, click the grey pencil icon next to the lesson to edit it.

## Participants

Shows a **list of all your students** along with profile information such as the classes they attend, email address, phone number, parent name, date of birth, proficiency level, and any other data the school has collected. Which fields are visible depends on the permissions set by the school manager.

## Substitutions

A **list of all your substitutions** — lessons where you covered for another instructor, or where someone covered for you.

## My personal details

Shows your basic account information: name and email address. You can also **change the application language** from this view.

## Using the E-register

Clicking any lesson tile in *My calendar* opens the E-register for that lesson. From there you can review **lesson details**, **check attendance**, **add a topic or notes**, and **add an online meeting link** if the lesson is held online.

Read more in the [E-register for instructors](/en/instructor-panel/e-register-for-instructors.md) article.

If the school has enabled it, you can also **send an email to all participants** from the lesson view. Read more in the [Sending emails from the Instructor Panel](/en/instructor-panel/sending-emails-from-instructor-panel.md) article.
